Why Anderson Property Owners Call Priority Pest & Contracting INC
We’re a locally owned business, and our roots in this community go beyond a service address. Priority Pest & Contracting INC has treated more than 1,200 homes and 200 businesses across the greater Anderson area, including hospitals, credit unions, non-profits, industrial facilities, and real estate firms. That track record reflects service across a wide range of properties and infestation types.
Our affiliations reflect the standards we hold ourselves to on every service call. We’re members of the South Carolina Pest Control Association, the National Pest Management Association, the Anderson Chamber of Commerce, and the Better Business Bureau.
Integrated pest management (IPM) is the foundation of how we approach ant control. Rather than applying a surface treatment and moving on, IPM targets root causes: entry points, nesting sites, and the conditions that attract ants in the first place. This approach supports longer-lasting control and may help reduce repeat infestations.

How Can We Help?
Ant Species We Treat in Anderson, SC
Priority Pest & Contracting INC treats a full range of ant species common to the Anderson area, including fire ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, Argentine ants, pavement ants, and little black ants. Each species behaves differently, nests differently, and responds to different treatment approaches. Knowing which ant you’re dealing with is the first step toward getting rid of it.
Anderson’s climate and geography give multiple species favorable conditions throughout the year. Here’s what property owners in this area typically encounter:
- Fire Ants: Build mounds in open, sunny areas such as yards, pastures, and landscaped beds. Common in residential Anderson neighborhoods and known for a venomous sting that can trigger serious allergic reactions.
- Carpenter Ants: Tunnel through wood to build nests, particularly wood softened by moisture or mold. Anderson’s crawl spaces and Upstate humidity create conditions they find attractive, and untreated infestations can cause structural damage over time.
- Odorous House Ants: Commonly called sugar ants, these ants follow pheromone trails into kitchens and pantries. They’re among the most frequently reported indoor ant species in the Upstate SC region.
- Argentine Ants: Form large, interconnected colonies and move indoors during temperature swings, a pattern that fits Anderson’s mixed-humid seasonal shifts.
- Pavement Ants: Nest under driveways, patios, and concrete slabs and enter structures through foundation gaps.
- Little Black Ants: Small and fast-moving, these ants frequently appear in kitchens and wall voids.
Properties near Lake Hartwell face added moisture exposure at the foundation and crawl space level, creating harborage conditions that attract several of these species simultaneously.
Our Ant Control Treatment Process
Every ant control service starts with an inspection. We identify the species present, locate nesting sites and entry points, and assess the conditions driving ant activity on your property. Treatment follows from that assessment, not from a one-size-fits-all formula.
We use three primary treatment types depending on the species and situation:
- Liquid Treatments: Applied to perimeter surfaces, entry points, and nesting areas to target active ants and create a residual barrier.
- Bait Treatments: Workers carry treated bait back to the colony, where it reaches the queen and targets the source of new ants. Particularly effective for odorous house ants and Argentine ants.
- Granular Yard Treatments: Used for fire ant mound treatment and perimeter protection in outdoor areas.
Fire ant treatments run seasonally, with frequency adjusted based on observed activity. All other ant control services follow a quarterly schedule, keeping a protective barrier in place and letting us catch new activity before it develops into a full infestation. Recurring quarterly and monthly services carry a guarantee.
Standard recurring visits focus on exterior applications. Interior treatments are added when requested or when a problem calls for it. Every treatment plan is customized to the specific species identified and the conditions of your property, consistent with our IPM approach.
