Why Us
Why Columbus Picks Jarrod's for Ant Control
Free Inspection to Find the Nest
A licensed technician follows the trails to find the nest and where ants get in. The inspection and estimate are free, and you get the price before any work starts.
Same-Day and Next-Day Service
Ants in the kitchen are hard to live with for long. We offer same-day and next-day appointments, and our technicians are licensed in Georgia and Alabama.
Quarterly Plans With Free Call-Backs
Most homes do best with quarterly service. If ants come back between scheduled visits, so do we, at no extra charge. We use family and pet-safe products inside and in the yard.
Watch for New Mounds After Rain
Fire ant mounds pop up across Columbus lawns a day or two after a good rain. Don't kick or dig into a mound, because fire ants swarm and sting. Mark the spot, keep kids and pets away and call us.
Karen C.Feb 2026 Consistent service, respectful of property. Since starting service with Jarrod's i haven't had any problems with insects in my house.

Barbara C.Apr 2025 
Niecy S.Apr 2025 Great communication, and professionalism. Definitely less bugs on the inside. The ants on the outside are a little more stubborn. We call wherever we see a new ant bed in the yard and they come out to take care of it.
Christine S.Mar 2025 James is a hard worker. He is very well liked even our dog Sierra is excited to see us. He evened served us when we ants come into the house on a weekend. He calls to see when it is a good time to come over and have the monthly spraying. He even does my daughters house as well. Thank Jarrod for having James on your team. Sincerely, Chris Schmidt
Hannah A.Mar 2025 We’ve been using Jarrod’s Pest Control since August 2023 and have been thoroughly impressed with the services provided. We opted for the Platinum Package, and the results have truly spoken for themselves. Our neighbors have struggled with termites, which is one of the many issues Jarrod’s handles as part of our pest control service. Additionally, when we removed our carpet, it was clear that the pest control had been doing its job, as we found dead ants underneath, likely left behind by the previous homeowner. Brian is always willing to answer any questions we may have, and are grateful for the quality and care he provides with each service.
Sarah M.Sep 2024 We have used Jarrod's for over three years and have been so pleased! Our technician, Brian, is one of the most friendliest, most personable people I've ever met. He always had a smile on his face and was very kind. Attention to detail was always top priority and when we got ants in the kitchen after a lot of rain, he came out SAME day within an hour and treated for me. Love this company and the family owned feel!
Matt B.Aug 2023 We have a new build and had an issue with ants trying to come into our laundry room because of the dry weather Friday. One call and we had a technician out to treat the house later that afternoon. All in all very pleased!

Service Areas
Ant Control Across Columbus and the Chattahoochee Valley
Fire ants are the ant most Chattahoochee Valley homeowners know first. Mild winters and red clay soil let colonies build mounds nearly all year. Inside, ants trail along counters and baseboards, and carpenter ants nest in damp wood near windows and roof leaks.
We treat ants in Columbus, Phenix City, Auburn, Opelika and LaGrange. We also cover Middle Georgia, from Macon to Warner Robins and Perry. Our trucks head out from the office on Kolb Avenue in Columbus each morning.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to Your Ant Control Questions
Here is what Columbus homeowners ask us most.
How much does ant control cost?
It depends on the type of ant, how many nests there are and the size of your home. Your technician inspects first and gives you the price before any work starts. You can choose a one-time treatment or a quarterly plan.
Are your ant treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use family and pet-safe products and apply them where ants nest and travel. Your technician will tell you if kids or pets need to stay off a treated area, and for how long.
How fast can you come out?
We offer same-day and next-day ant service across Columbus, Phenix City, Auburn and the rest of the Chattahoochee Valley. Emergency service is also available. Call us and we'll give you the first open time.
How long until the ants are gone?
Part of the treatment works when ants carry it back to the colony, so you may still see a few ants at first. Your technician will tell you what to expect for your type of ant. On a quarterly plan, we come back for free if ants return between visits.
Are carpenter ants damaging my house?
They can. Carpenter ants hollow out damp or damaged wood to nest, and they leave a sawdust-like material behind. Left too long, a nest can do real damage to wood in your home. We treat the galleries and voids where they live.
