Commercial ant control tuned to the species actually in your building
Ant control is a species problem, not a product problem. Odorous house ants trail along plumbing lines in offices and apartments. Carpenter ants excavate damp wood in older commercial buildings, often signaling a moisture or rot issue behind the scenes. Pharaoh ants are the high-stakes species in Indianapolis healthcare and senior-living environments because they nest in wall voids, trail to IV bags, wound dressings, and food-service areas, and, most critically, fragment their colonies when treated with the wrong product. A repellent spray on pharaoh ants can multiply the problem overnight.
ProTech identifies the species before treating, then selects a protocol that matches both the ant and the environment. Non-repellent baits are the backbone of pharaoh and odorous house ant work, giving foragers time to carry active ingredient back to the queen and brood without triggering budding. Carpenter ant work adds structural inspection for moisture-damaged wood and satellite nest location. Every commercial program is documented for audits, scheduled around operating hours, and executed with low-odor, staff- and patient-friendly materials.

We had pharaoh ants show up in a wing of our skilled-nursing facility and the previous provider treated them with a residual spray. Within a week the trails were in twice as many rooms. ProTech came in the next day, explained exactly why that happened, switched us to a non-repellent bait protocol, and trained our environmental services team on what to look for. The trails were gone in three weeks and have not come back.
Correct ant identification the first visit solved a recurring office problem we had for two summers.
Carpenter ants pointed us to a hidden roof leak we never would have found otherwise.

Our 4-step commercial process.
Structured, documented, and built around the compliance standards your facility faces.
Species identification
A technician captures specimens, identifies the species, and inspects trails, harborage, and conducive conditions. Treatment protocol is selected based on the species, not a default product.
Protocol-matched treatment
Non-repellent baits, crack-and-crevice work, and perimeter treatment are deployed based on the species and environment. No repellent sprays are used on pharaoh or odorous house ant trails.
Colony collapse
Baits give foragers time to share active ingredient with the queen and brood. We monitor trail reduction over two to four weeks before reducing intensity.
Maintenance cadence
Recurring visits focus on entry points, exterior perimeter, and historical hot spots. For healthcare we build in EVS training so staff spot new trails before they spread.
Every program delivers this baseline.
Specialty services and add-ons layer on based on facility type. This is the foundation.
Every ant issue starts with identification, because treatment for pharaoh ants is nothing like treatment for odorous house ants.
The backbone of pharaoh and odorous house ant work — transferred back to the colony without triggering budding.
Moisture and wood-damage inspection to locate satellite and parent nests, including attic and void checks.
Targeted treatment at wall penetrations, plumbing lines, and expansion joints where trails concentrate.
Exterior foundation, landscape, and entry-point treatment to intercept seasonal reintroduction pressure.
Fragrance-free, low-odor, clinical-area-appropriate materials and scheduling aligned with infection control.
Short, practical briefings for EVS, housekeeping, and maintenance on trail identification and reporting.
Written service reports, SDS, and trend logs suitable for CMS surveys, health inspections, and QA audits.
If a trail reappears between scheduled visits, we return at no additional charge.

ProTech vs. typical national pest control.
Most buyers hire a national chain because the brand is familiar — then deal with rotating technicians, sub-contractors, and call centers. Here's how ProTech is structurally different.
No forced contracts. Free inspection. Between-visit response included.
