Types of Ant Species We Control

Ant infestations can be a serious nuisance, causing damage to property and contaminating food sources. Our professional ant control services effectively target various species, ensuring a pest-free environment. Here are the common types of ants we control:

argentine-ant-identif-85

1. Argentine Ants

Argentine ants are small, light to dark brown ants that form massive colonies. They are known for invading homes in search of food and water, often creating extensive trails. Their rapid reproduction makes them difficult to control without professional treatment.

2. Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are larger ants that can cause structural damage by hollowing out wood to create nests. They don’t consume wood like termites but can weaken wooden structures over time. Effective control requires identifying and eliminating their nests.

3. White-Footed House Ants

These ants are tiny, dark brown to black, with distinct pale-colored feet. They are common household pests that invade kitchens and pantries, attracted to sugary foods. Their ability to establish large colonies makes professional extermination essential.

Coastal Brown Ants

4. Coastal Brown Ants

Coastal brown ants, also known as big-headed ants, are commonly found in outdoor areas but can invade homes. They build nests in soil, walls, and pavements, often forming extensive colonies that are difficult to manage without expert intervention.

Why Are Ants Coming Inside?

  1. Food Sources – Crumbs, spills, and uncovered food attract ants. They are particularly drawn to sugary and greasy substances.
  2. Water Availability – Leaky pipes, pet water bowls, and damp areas provide the moisture ants need to survive.
  3. Weather Changes – Heavy rain, drought, or extreme temperatures can drive ants indoors for a more stable environment.
  4. Scent Trails – Ants leave pheromone trails to guide others to food sources, leading to an increasing infestation.
  5. Cracks and Gaps – Small openings in doors, windows, and walls allow ants easy access to your home.
To prevent ants, keep your home clean, store food properly, fix leaks, and seal entry points. If the infestation persists, professional pest control services can help eliminate the problem effectively.

What Problems Can Ants Cause?

Ants may seem harmless, but an infestation can lead to several problems in homes and businesses. Here are some common issues caused by ants:




Ants invade kitchens and pantries, contaminating food by carrying bacteria from unsanitary places. This can pose health risks and lead to food wastage.

1. Food Contamination




Certain ant species, like carpenter ants, burrow into wood to create nests, weakening furniture, wooden structures, and even building foundations over time.

2. Structural Damage




Some ants, such as fire ants, deliver painful bites and stings that can cause allergic reactions, itching, and discomfort, especially for children and pets.

3. Painful Bites and Stings




Ants are attracted to electrical wiring and appliances, leading to short circuits, equipment failure, and potential fire hazards when they chew on wires.

4. Electrical Damage




Ant colonies grow quickly, and once they establish a nest, they can spread to different parts of your property, making eradication difficult without professional pest control.

5. Rapid Infestation Growth




For businesses, especially in the food industry, an ant infestation can damage reputation, lead to health code violations, and even cause financial losses..

6. Business Disruptions
