Seasonal Infestation of Ants

Ant infestations tend to be seasonal, with activity increasing during:

  • Spring & Summer – As temperatures rise, ants become more active in search of food and water. Colonies expand, and workers invade homes for sustenance.

  • Fall – Some species, like carpenter ants, seek shelter indoors to prepare for colder months.

  • Winter – While most ants slow down, some, like odorous house ants, may nest inside walls or near heat sources, causing year-round infestations.

Common household ants include:

  • Argentine Ants – Highly invasive, forming massive colonies.

  • Odorous House Ants – Give off a rotten coconut smell when crushed.

  • Carpenter Ants – Can cause structural damage by burrowing into wood.

  • Pavement Ants – Often found near foundations and driveways.

How a Pest Control Expert Can Eliminate Ants

  1. Identification & Inspection – Locating nests, entry points, and food sources.

  2. Targeted Baiting – Using slow-acting poisons that workers carry back to the colony, killing it at the source.

  3. Barrier Treatments – Applying insecticides around the home’s perimeter to prevent future invasions.

  4. Nest Elimination – Treating or removing nests inside walls, soil, or wooden structures.

  5. Preventative Advice – Sealing cracks, eliminating food sources, and maintaining proper sanitation.

Ant infestations can quickly grow out of control, so professional pest control ensures effective and long-term removal.
