Pavement Ant

Pavement Ants

Pavement ants, found across the U.S., often nest near sidewalks and driveways. These tiny, dark brown to black ants have parallel lines on their heads and thoraxes. Living in large colonies, they feed on sweets, seeds, and insects, making them common in urban areas.

Odorous Ants

Odorous Ants

Odorous ants are small, dark brown insects known for their distinct rotten coconut-like smell when crushed. They are highly adaptable and often seek shelter indoors, especially during rainy seasons. These ants can nest in various environments, including soil, debris, wall voids, and beneath floors.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are more than just a nuisance; they can cause significant damage to wooden structures in your home. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don't eat wood but excavate it to create their nests, leading to weakened structures over time. Identifying these ants early is crucial.

To prevent infestations, keep woodpiles away from your home, seal any cracks, and ensure proper ventilation in damp areas. If you suspect an infestation, contact a pest control professional to protect your home from further damage.

Signs of Ant Infestations

Ant Trails and Sightings: Have you noticed ants marching in single file across your kitchen counters or office floors? These trails are a clear indication of an infestation. Ants leave behind pheromones to communicate with their colony, making their paths consistent and easy to spot.

Nests and Mounds: Look for ant mounds near foundations, sidewalks, or landscaping. Indoors, nests can be hidden in wall voids, behind appliances, or under flooring. Carpenter ants, in particular, can create nests inside wood structures, leading to damage over time.

Wood Shavings or Sawdust: If you spot wood shavings near door frames, windows, or baseboards, it could mean carpenter ants are tunneling inside your property. These ants don’t eat wood—they remove it to create nesting spaces.

DIY Ant Prevention for Homes & Businesses

Effective ant control relies on a multi-step approach that eliminates their access, food, and water:

1. Seal All Entry Points

  • Seal entry points and crevices around windows, doors, and the foundation with silicone caulk to block ant access and implement basic exclusion.

2. Eliminate All Food and Water Sources

  • Maintain sanitation by immediately wiping up all crumbs and spills, storing food and pet food in airtight containers, and emptying garbage daily.

3. Reduce Moisture and Exterior Harborage

  • Address moisture control by fixing all water leaks and damp areas, and eliminate exterior ant habitats by trimming vegetation and moving wood piles away from the structure.

Frequently Asked Questions

Carpenter ants, larger than most ants (1/4-1/2 inch), excavate wood to build nests, leaving behind frass. They prefer moist, decaying wood and can threaten home structures if not managed.

Regular ants, about 1/8 inch long and can vary in color, nest in pavement cracks, trees and/or soil and are nuisances in homes. Unlike Carpenter ants, regular ants do not excavate through wood.

.

The cost of ant removal by a pest control company can vary widely depending on several factors, including the severity of the infestation, the size of the property, and the specific methods used for treatment.

Ants primarily nest outdoors but will also nest indoors as well. Their favorite nesting sites vary with their species.

  • Carpenter ants prefer to nest in open sunny areas like parks, yards, and golf courses.
  • Odorous house ants prefer to nest in shallow soil beneath stones, boards, logs, mulch, and debris.
  • Pavement ants' nest in the damp soil next to sidewalks, driveways, foundations, and spaces in masonry walls.

As ants move around your yard searching for food and water sources or if the weather becomes too harsh, ants will move indoors through spaces they find in our home’s exterior. Once inside, they nest in wooden structures, walls voids, and insulation.

  • Food Sources: Leftover crumbs, spills, and improperly stored food can attract ants into your home.
  • Moisture: Leaky pipes, damp areas, and standing water provide the perfect environment for ants to thrive.
  • Entry Points: Cracks in walls, gaps in windows, and open doors offer easy access for ants to invade.
  • Outdoor Vegetation: Overgrown plants and trees touching your home can serve as bridges for ants.
  • Pet Food: Unattended pet food bowls are a common attraction for ants seeking a quick meal.
