Identify Your Pest

Acrobat

Acrobat ants are small, shiny, and easily identified by the workers’ ability to hold their abdomen over the rest of their body.

Carpenter

Carpenter worker ants can be up to 1/2 inch long. These ants pose a risk to the structural integrity of the home by burrowing into wood.

Crazy Ant

Crazy ants move in erratic, zig-zag paths. They live in super colonies that can spread across a large distance and will travel far from their nests in search of food and water sources.

Little Black Ant

Little black ants are very small and shiny black. Their colonies may have more than one queen. They are a nuisance pest and will invade food sources.

Fire

Fire ants are small, reddish, and deliver painful stings that may cause allergic reactions. These ants are found both outside and inside the home.

Pharaoh

Pharaoh ants are small and either yellow or light brown. They can be difficult to control because they nest in hard-to-reach places.

Problems Caused By Ants

Ants are more than a nuisance–they are a threat to the structural integrity and cleanliness of homes and businesses. If left untreated, ant infestations can quickly grow out of control and pose the following issues:

Invisible Trails: Ants leave behind pheromone trails that lead other ants in the colony to food and water sources. These invisible trails cause steady ant activity in the home that can be hard to trace.
Large Colonies: Populations can grow to contain 500,000 ants, making them difficult to manage without professional intervention. Colonies may be established in different locations on a property and will relocate when threatened.
Nesting Hazards: Ants can cause structural damage to the home by establishing nests in walls, foundations, under floors, and lawns. Expensive home repairs may become necessary due to ant infestations.
Lifespan: Worker ants live up to seven years, and queens can live up to 15 years, making long-term control essential to stop ant colonies from growing.

Ant FAQs

The most common household ants include carpenter ants, pavement ants, odorous house ants, and Argentine ants. Each species requires specific treatment strategies for effective pest control.

Signs of an ant infestation include visible ant trails, small piles of sawdust (frass) for carpenter ants, nests in walls or foundations, and ants in food storage areas. Professional pest inspection can confirm the extent of the problem.

While most ants aren't directly harmful, some species can contaminate food, spread bacteria, and cause structural damage. Carpenter ants, in particular, can weaken wooden structures in your home.

Ants are attracted to food sources, especially sugary and protein-rich items. Poor sanitation, unsealed food containers, and moisture problems can all contribute to ant infestations in kitchens.

Implement integrated pest management techniques such as sealing entry points, maintaining cleanliness, storing food properly, fixing leaks, and reducing moisture. Regular pest control inspections can also help prevent infestations.

The most effective ant control methods combine baits, insecticide treatments, and addressing underlying attractants. Professional pest control services can provide targeted solutions based on the specific ant species and infestation level.

Learn More About Ant Management

Causes

Food Sources: Ants are quick to find food sources. Crumbs and spills or improperly stored food are ideal targets for ants.
Water Sources: Standing water, damp environments, and leaky drains are common water sources for ants.
Entry Points: Ants can enter a building through tiny cracks in the foundation, poorly sealed doors, and windows. Take care to seal these entry points with physical barriers such as silicone or door/window screens.
Nesting Sites Near The Home: Ants will nest in soil, walls, and structural voids such as empty spaces under floors. If these nesting sites are near food sources, they are more likely to live there.

Treatment

Professional Assistance: Professional pest control services conduct thorough inspections to determine the severity of the infestation. Hello Pest Control technicians will propose treatment plans based on factors such as the size of the home, type of ant, and severity of infestation.
Identification: Proper species identification is essential to successful extermination, and the Hello Pest Control team knows the most effective treatment for each ant species.
Indoor Treatment: Sprays, baits, and dust are all effective methods of indoor ant control. Baits target the entire colony because ants carry it back to the nest.
Outdoor Treatment: Hello Pest Control technicians use insecticides to create a barrier around the home, which deter ants from entering and nesting.

Prevention

Maintain Cleanliness: Regularly cleaning the home and yard will remove attractants, deterring large populations of ants from coming onto your property.
Seal Entry Points: To stop ants from entering, seal cracks and gaps, and install screens for doors and windows. Reinforce these as needed and continually check for new entry points.
Eliminate Water Sources: Check the plumbing, faucets, and water hoses to ensure ants don’t have a consistent water source. If a bathroom or basement is very moist, consider purchasing a dehumidifier.
Proper Food Storage: Don’t leave food out for prolonged periods and store leftovers in airtight containers. Pet food should also be stored in airtight containers and should not be left in bowls overnight.
