Common Ants We Treat in the Greenville Area

Identifying the type of ant in your home or yard is the most important step in controlling it. Different species have different behaviors and require unique treatment strategies. Our technicians are trained to identify and manage all local ant species, including the most common ones.

  • Odorous House Ants: These tiny, dark ants are the most frequent invaders of kitchens. They get their name from the rotten coconut-like smell they release when crushed.
  • Carpenter Ants: Large, black, or reddish-black ants that tunnel through wood to build their nests. They do not eat wood, but their excavations can cause significant structural damage.
  • Fire Ants: An aggressive, stinging ant found in yards. They build large, visible mounds in open, sunny areas and will swarm to attack anyone or anything that disturbs their nest.
  • Pavement Ants: Small, dark ants that often nest in or under cracks in driveways and sidewalks, sometimes pushing small piles of soil up between pavers or concrete.

Each of these species presents a different challenge. A store-bought spray may kill the ants you see, but it will not affect the queen or the hidden colony, allowing the infestation to return.

The Problem with DIY Ant Treatments

When you see a line of ants, the first instinct is to grab a can of spray. However, this common DIY method rarely solves the problem. Store-bought sprays only kill the worker ants you see, leaving the queen and the hidden colony untouched and safe to continue reproducing.

Many DIY treatments, especially liquid sprays, also act as a repellent. This can cause the colony to fracture, a process called "budding," where queens and workers split off to create multiple new colonies. This turns your one ant problem into several, making the infestation worse.

Professional ant control is different. A trained technician identifies the species and uses targeted baits and non-repellent products. These are designed to be carried back to the colony, eliminating the infestation at its source, including the queen, ensuring the problem does not return.
