Identifying an Ant Infestation in Your Sacramento Home

Ants are social insects that live in large groups, so that an ant infestation can form quickly. There are likely many more if you see one or two ants in your home. The most obvious sign of an ant infestation is seeing the pests. However, they often remain hidden and may only be seen occasionally. In addition to seeing ants, other signs can indicate an infestation.

You may have an ant infestation if you notice any of the following signs:

• Ants in the kitchen or bathroom – Ants are attracted to food and water, so you may notice them in your kitchen or bathroom. They may also be found in other areas of your home, searching for food, such as your pantry.
• Ant trails – When ants find a food source, they leave a chemical trail that other ants can follow to the food. This can result in an easy-to-see trail of ants.
• Ant mounds – If you see ant mounds in your yard, you have an ant infestation. The mounds can be large or small, depending on the ant species.
• Wood shavings or sawdust – Some ants, such as carpenter ants, nest in wood. If you see wood shavings or sawdust, this can indicate that you have a carpenter ant infestation.
• Wings – Swarmers are ants with wings, responsible for starting new colonies. If you see wings, this can indicate that you have a problem with swarmers and may have an infestation.

Regular inspection and identification of these signs are essential in preventing a full-blown infestation. Homeowners can undertake routine checks in typical ant-targeted areas such as basements, attics, and foundations. Understanding the behavior and lifecycle of ants can also greatly aid in managing their presence. Our Sacramento-based team is adept at identifying these early warning signs and implementing proactive measures to manage ant populations efficiently.

Our Ant Control Solutions 

Ants are one of the most common pests; many people try to eliminate them alone. Many do-it-yourself products are available for ant control. However, these products are less effective than professional ant control in Sacramento and Central California. Over-the-counter products can provide temporary relief, but do not address the underlying problem. The only way to completely get rid of ants is to find and eliminate the entire colony.

Because each property in the Sacramento area presents different challenges, our approach to ant extermination is always customized. We assess environmental concerns, such as the region’s warm, dry summers and mild winters, which support year-round ant activity in the region. Our treatments are selected to work well within the local climate, ensuring maximum effectiveness and reducing risk to households. By choosing a professional ant exterminator, homeowners receive comprehensive inspections and ongoing monitoring, which are especially critical for properties built to unique Sacramento-area building codes or those situated in older neighborhoods that may be more vulnerable to recurring pest issues.
