Common Ant Infestations We Handle
Identifying the type of ant invading your property is the first step toward effective removal. Different species have different behaviors, nesting habits, and potential risks. These differences require unique treatment strategies to successfully manage the colony and ensure long-term results.
- Carpenter Ants: These are among the most destructive pests found in the area. They do not eat wood, but they excavate it to build nests, which can threaten the structural integrity of your home. They are often found near damp or decaying wood.
- Pavement Ants: Commonly seen emerging from cracks in sidewalks, driveways, and foundations, especially in spring. They frequently enter homes in search of food, congregating in kitchens or pantries where they can contaminate surfaces.
- Odorous House Ants: Known for the unpleasant, rotten coconut-like smell they release when crushed. They are attracted to sweets and moisture, making bathrooms and kitchens prime targets for infestation as they search for water and food.
- Field Ants: While they primarily nest outdoors, building visible mounds in lawns or gardens, they frequently forage indoors for food. Their mounds can be unsightly and disrupt landscaping, and they can deliver a noticeable bite if disturbed.
Recognizing these common intruders helps in applying the correct removal method. A professional inspection can confirm the species and locate the colony's source, ensuring the infestation is handled properly before it worsens.

Simple Ant Prevention Tips for Colorado Springs Residents
A few practical steps can help prevent ant invasions. Store food in sealed containers, wipe down counters daily, and avoid leaving pet food out. Inspect doors, windows, and foundation cracks for possible entry points, and seal gaps with caulk. Maintain landscape areas by trimming branches and keeping mulch a few inches from the foundation to limit access. Colorado Springs' dry summers and heavy rains can create moisture issues, so check plumbing and basements regularly. Addressing these areas, along with regular professional inspections, goes a long way to reduce recurring ant problems for homes and businesses across the city.
