ANTS

ANTS

Ants are a common pest in the Portland area. They are fairly easy to identify based on their three distinct body regions: head, thorax and abdomen. The two most common types of ants you will find in the Pacific Northwest are Sugar Ants and Carpenter Ants.

Sugar Ants

Sugar Ants are formally known as Odorous House Ants. These are small, typically all-black ants that are often found inside your home. These ants will eat practically any type of food but are most attracted to sugar and sweets. Sugar Ants can also have multiple queens, which can make the population harder to control than other types of ants. Because of our climate in Oregon, these ants tend to make frequent reappearances. We recommend our quarterly maintenance service to guarantee protection against these pesky insects. Call us for your ant exterminations needs today!

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter Ants are usually the easiest to identify because they are the largest species of ant. They typically have all-black or reddish coloring. These ants can be concerning for a homeowner because they are wood-destroying. We can treat for carpenter ants to bring you peace of mind and protection for your home!
