Common Ants in Southern California
Southern California plays host to a wide variety of pest ants. Here are the most common ones we see in homes.
Argentine ants
These tiny ¼” ants live in large colonies and enter homes seeking food and water. They prefer sugary foods and will follow the same trails when looking for food. They are not a severe health risk, but they can contaminate the food in your home.
Carpenter ants
Carpenter ants are a real threat. If you spot carpenter ants in your home, they’re probably devouring your house to build nests in your wood. These big ants are usually black, but they can also be red or brown. They use their strong, large mandibles for digging into wood, which can make your house unstable.
Pavement ants
More of a nuisance than a threat, these tiny ants flock to the kitchen. They usually build their nests on the sides of houses.
Fire ants
Reddish in color, fire ants can grow up to a ½” long. They sting pets and people, usually around the feet, ankles, and legs. When fire ants sting, they inject venom and can sting multiple times very quickly.
Odorous house ants
Small and shiny, these common ants adore sweet foods like fruits, but they will eat greasy, savory foods like meat as well. If you smash one, you will be sorry. Odorous house ants give off an unpleasant smell when smashed.
Thief ants
Also called grease ants, thief ants love greasy foods like cheese, meat, and peanut butter. They are more of a nuisance than a health risk because they do not bite and rarely spread disease. These tiny ants have antennae with 10 segments (visible if you take a photo and then zoom in).
Pest Management Services
When dealing with ants, we’re all about using environmentally friendly methods. That’s why we use a technique called Integrated Pest Management (IPM). IPM is all about preventing ants from coming in, finding any signs they might be hiding, and changing things that would make them want to stay.
Let our friendly team help you to keep unwanted pests outside your home and lawn.
