Ant Control

in Michigan and Indiana

GoodBye Pest…

…Hello Peace

Ants Are a Persistent Problem in the Midwest

If you’re spotting a trail of ants in your kitchen or around your building’s foundation, you’re not alone. Ants are one of the most common pest problems we treat across Michigan and Indiana — and once they settle in, they rarely leave on their own.

At CE Solution, we’ve helped homeowners, landlords, and businesses across the region identify and eliminate ant infestations the right way — with local expertise, certified technicians, and a commitment to doing the job right the first time.

Why Ants Keep Coming Back

Ants are always searching for food, moisture, or warmth — and the Midwest climate makes our homes and buildings a perfect target. You might kill the ones you see, but the real issue is the colony — often hidden behind walls, under floors, or deep outside your foundation.

Store-bought sprays and bait traps rarely solve the full problem. In some cases, they even make it worse by scattering the colony or triggering it to split.

That’s where we come in.

Types of Ants Common in Michigan and Indiana

We regularly deal with a variety of ant species in our region — some are just a nuisance, while others can cause real damage or health risks. Here are the most common types we treat:

  • Acrobat Ants
    Small ants that raise their abdomens over their heads when disturbed; often found in moist wood.

  • Carpenter Ants
    Large, black ants that tunnel through wood and can cause structural damage.

  • Field Ants
    Often mistaken for carpenter ants; they build mounds and don’t nest in homes, but can still become a nuisance.

  • Odorous House Ants
    Tiny brown ants that give off a rotten coconut smell when crushed; common in kitchens and bathrooms.

  • Pavement Ants
    Small, dark ants that nest in cracks in pavement, driveways, or along foundations.

  • Pharaoh Ants
    Very small yellowish ants that spread quickly and can contaminate food or medical supplies; common in multi-unit housing.

If you’re not sure what type you’re dealing with, we’ll identify it during your inspection and explain the best way to treat it.

How CE Solution Treats Ant Infestations

Ant problems aren’t one-size-fits-all — and we don’t treat them that way. When you call CE Solution, here’s what to expect:

  • Inspection
    We look closely at your space to identify the species, locate entry points, and find the source of the problem.

  • Targeted Treatment
    We use professional-grade products that reach the colony and break the cycle — not just the ants you can see.

  • Prevention
    We’ll share practical advice for sealing up gaps, removing attractants, and keeping ants out for good.

All handled by state-certified, highly trained technicians, with fully equipped service vehicles ready to take care of things on the spot.

How to Prevent Ants at Home or Work

You can’t control every ant outside — but you can make your space a lot less inviting:

  • Store food in sealed containers
  • Clean up crumbs and spills quickly
  • Fix leaky faucets and eliminate standing water
  • Seal cracks in walls, doors, and foundations
  • Keep outdoor vegetation trimmed away from your building

And if they still get in? That’s when we’re here.
