Ants
What They Are
Ants are one of the most common household pests in Louisiana. Because of our warm, humid climate, ants can be active year-round and often move indoors searching for food, water, or shelter. The most common species we see include fire ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and Argentine ants, each with slightly different habits — but all capable of becoming a nuisance once they find a reliable food source
Where You’ll See Them
Ants are typically found in kitchens, bathrooms, pantries, around sinks, along baseboards, and anywhere crumbs or moisture are present. Outdoors, you may notice them around foundations, driveways, porches, and in the yard.
Why They’re a Problem
Once ants discover food, they leave scent trails that attract more ants — turning a few into a full-blown trail quickly. Fire ants can deliver painful stings, and carpenter ants may tunnel into damp or damaged wood. Store-bought sprays often only kill the ants you see while the colony stays active and continues to return.
How They Get Inside
Ants can enter through tiny cracks around windows, doors, foundations, plumbing lines, or utility openings. Even the smallest food crumbs or moisture sources can attract them indoors — especially in Louisiana’s heat.
How We Help
Our general pest control service targets both the ants you see and the colonies behind them. We use strategic treatments designed to help reduce activity, disrupt trails, and limit future infestations with ongoing preventative service.
