Hi, I’m Ryan Smith. When you call Ant & Garden Organic Pest Control, I’m the one who actually shows up.
No call centers, no rotating crew, no strangers. Just me, seven professional licenses, and a genuine commitment to solving your ant problem and any other pest issue the right way.
From ant infestations and rodents to spiders and bed bugs, I’ve seen it all and I know how stressful it can be when pests invade your Portland home. That’s why I use organic, family-safe ant control and pest treatment methods that eliminate the problem without filling your home with harsh chemicals. Safe for your kids, safe for your pets, and effective enough that you won’t need to call twice.
Whether you’re dealing with carpenter ants, odorous house ants, or a full ant infestation, I’ll identify the source and treat it at the root, not just the surface.
When you work with me, you’re not a ticket number. You’re a neighbor, and I treat your home like it’s my own.
Ant Control That Gets to the Source
Ants don’t just appear. They follow trails, build colonies, and keep coming back if the source isn’t treated.
Our organic approach targets the colony itself, cutting off the problem before it comes back.

Why is organic pest control more effective for ants?
Harsh chemicals make ants sick before they reach the nest. The colony detects them and they get kicked out.
Organic treatments are gentle enough that scouts carry them back undetected, spreading through the entire colony where it matters most.

Here’s How My Revolutionary Pest Control Program Works:
STEP 1: COLONY ELIMINATION FROM THE INSIDE OUT
I use a botanical Azadirachtin IGR that worker ants carry back to the nest completely undetected.
By the time the colony realizes what’s happening, it’s already over.
This isn’t surface control, it’s complete colony kill, every time.
STEP 2: ELIMINATE THE SOURCE OUTSIDE
I extensively bait the exterior perimeter of your home because the logic is simple: if there are no ants on the outside of your home, there are no ants to hitchhike inside. Most companies treat your walls. I make sure ants never reach them.
This is why organic pest control isn’t just safer, it’s more effective.
Synthetic chemicals repel ants and scatter colonies. My botanical approach lets them bring the treatment home. The result is a complete kill, not a temporary fix.
STEP 3: SEAL THE HOME AT THE FOUNDATION
I treat the entire foundation with essential oil barriers and dust every crack and crevice with thyme oil.
Ants find the structure chemically hostile and won’t cross it. No gaps, no entry points, no exceptions.

ORGANIC PEST CONTROL TECHNIQUES
I Stop Ants And Pests At Their Source!
Did you know that ants, spiders, mice and other pests can easily slip inside your home through tiny cracks and holes that are often unapparent to the visible eye? I leave no stone unturned in my search for vulnerable spots in both the interior and exterior of your home. Nobody in NW Oregon is more skilled in spotting the most minuscule openings that an untrained eye will typically miss.
Corporate companies hire seasonal apprentices that are paid per home serviced. Unfortunately, they just spray toxic chemicals and leave. I get 95% of my clients from referrals. I establish rapport and perform work I would be happy to pay for myself!
But I don’t stop there. I make my own bait stations as well. More effective than any product other companies use or can buy, ants and other household pests cannot resist their last meal which I happily provide!
THINK TRADITIONAL PEST EXTERMINATORS CARE ABOUT PREVENTION?
THINK AGAIN!
Most traditional pest control companies offer ineffective cookie cutter treatments without attending to the unique needs of each customer. They hire seasonal apprentices that are paid per home serviced, often rushing from home to home and carelessly spraying toxic chemicals so they can move on to the next job.
The pest control industry earns billions each year by repeated spraying, which is why they’re really not interested in prevention. They care more about increasing profits, so the last thing they want is for their customers to permanently solve their ant or pest problems.
ANT & GARDEN ORGANIC PEST CONTROL in Portland, Oregon works year-round to protect homes and businesses from all types of ants and pests, without the dangerous chemicals! Our organic outdoor pest control solutions are your smarter and safer alternative to traditional pest control, with guaranteed complete eradication of ants and other pests.
