Household Ants

Household ants are one of the most persistent and frustrating pests to deal with indoors. These small insects typically invade kitchens, bathrooms, and pantries, drawn by the scent of food, grease, and moisture. Once a trail is established, thousands of ants can follow, creating unsightly lines along baseboards, countertops, and windowsills. Common species include odorous house ants and pavement ants, both known for forming large colonies and nesting in hard-to-reach areas such as wall voids, under floors, or near plumbing.

 

Ant infestations are more than just a nuisance—they can contaminate food and attract other pests like aphids or spiders. Early intervention is key to preventing colony growth and repeated invasions.

Treatment Options

  1. Ant Bait Gel or Stations – Baits are carried back to the nest by worker ants, targeting the colony and queen. This method is effective and safe for indoor use with minimal disruption.
  2. Non-Repellent Perimeter Spray – A professional-grade barrier treatment applied around the home’s foundation and entry points prevents ants from gaining access and disrupts pheromone trails.

 

For long-term control, eliminate food sources, seal entry points, and schedule regular pest inspections. Consistent treatment ensures your home stays ant-free year-round.

Fire Ants

Fire ants, originally from South America, were accidentally introduced to the Fire ants are aggressive, reddish-brown ants known for their painful stings and large mound nests. They typically build colonies in soil, lawns, gardens, and near foundations. When disturbed, fire ants swarm quickly and sting multiple times, injecting venom that causes burning, itching, and sometimes allergic reactions. 

 

These ants are highly territorial and will defend their nests aggressively. Their presence around homes poses risks to people, pets, and outdoor activities. Fire ants can also damage electrical equipment, air conditioning units, and wiring by nesting in and around mechanical systems.

Treatment Options

  1. Broadcast Bait Application – Fire ant bait is spread across the infested area, where worker ants collect it and carry it back to the colony. The bait targets the queen and disrupts the colony’s growth from within. This method is effective for large-scale infestations and offers long-term control. 
  2. Direct Mound Treatment – Liquid or dust insecticides applied directly to the mound provide fast knockdown of visible fire ant activity. This method is ideal for treating specific problem areas and nests near high-traffic zones. 

 

Combining baiting with mound treatments offers the most effective results. For complete fire ant control, it’s essential to identify all colonies and apply products correctly. Professional pest control ensures safe, thorough application and long-term fire ant management around your home or property.
