Ants are steadfast, destructive pests

Let our pest control experts help you exterminate them!

Tenacious eusocial insects, ant colonies work well together to get things done. Once they enter your home, they are persistent and hard to fight. They produce pheromones, which are sensed by other ants through their antennae. They can even build bridges with their bodies to cross water sources.

Common Types of Ants

Carpenter ants are particularly drawn to areas where wood has been weakened by moisture, making damp or rotting sections of floors, baseboards, ceilings, rooflines, or attics prime targets for infestation. You should be especially vigilant about any signs of water damage or decay. These pests don’t just linger on the surface—they’re capable of chewing through wooden structures and even interior walls to carve out nesting galleries, which can seriously compromise the integrity of your home over time.

While little black ants may not cause structural harm, they can still become a persistent and frustrating presence. Though they don’t tunnel through wood, they can invade kitchens, pantries, and other living spaces in search of food. If left unchecked, their colonies can grow large and difficult to control, creating an ongoing nuisance.

Fire ants, known for their aggressive behavior and painful stings, present a different kind of risk. A single sting is unpleasant, but multiple stings—or a sting to someone with an allergy—can quickly escalate into a medical concern. Though they typically nest outdoors, they spread rapidly, making early intervention essential for both safety and peace of mind.
