Ants usually prefer to build their large main nest outside but often create satellite nests indoors after being attracted inside by food odors or to escape harsh weather conditions. Inside homes, ants usually build their nest in locations that are out of sight, like behind wall voids, baseboards, cabinets, large appliances, and vents.

If ants have made themselves comfortable in or around your home, you are likely to notice the following signs:

• Long trails of ants crawling over surfaces in your home

• Dirt mounds in one or more locations in your yard

• Large numbers of ants moving throughout your yard, gardens, and over walkways

• Rustling sounds behind your home’s walls

At any notice of ants on your property, reach out to us. We are here to provide ant control in your home and yard.

Ant infestations are so common because our properties tend to provide ants with their basic needs. Food odors are what usually first attract ants to a property. Things like open trash containers, compost, outdoor eating areas, and gardens are places where ants forage for food. They also love to feast on leftover pet food, spills, and crumbs in outdoor eating areas.

After becoming comfortable foraging for food in your yard, it is only a matter of time before they find small openings in your home’s exterior and move inside. Our houses, garages, and sheds offer ants an escape from harsh weather conditions, easy access to food, and safe nesting sites.

The majority of species of ants that we come across and that invade our structures are nuisance ants. Because of their small size, ants can become a problem in almost any structure. Keeping these pests from moving in and out of our homes is frustrating and, without the help of a professional, very time-consuming. 

In addition to how annoying they are, ants are unwanted because they are responsible for contaminating food, invading our properties in large numbers, and spreading bacteria; nuisance ants do not pose significant threats to people or our properties.

While most ants are harmless, there are some species of dangerous ants that we need to be aware of to protect ourselves. Some dangerous ants are aggressive and bite or sting; others create serious health risks. Ants can also cause damage to our property by chewing through structural wood and wires. Ant infestations have been the root cause of short circuits and fires. Examples of dangerous ants in Orange County, CA include carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, and fire ants.
