Ants are among the most common household pests across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic, with thousands of species worldwide and many that regularly invade homes in our service areas. While they vary widely in size, color, and behavior, all ants share segmented bodies, six legs, and antennae that help them navigate to food and water sources.
They are highly social insects that live in organized colonies ranging from a few hundred to hundreds of thousands of individuals, with workers, soldiers, and reproductive members each playing a distinct role.
In our region, the species homeowners encounter most often include carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, ghost ants, and fire ants. Each has different nesting habits, dietary preferences, and potential risks to your property.
Our trained service professionals at Proforce Pest Control can identify the specific species in your home and apply the right treatment approach for lasting control.
Even spotless kitchens can attract ants. Scout ants leave invisible pheromone trails that guide the rest of the colony to even the smallest crumbs or moisture sources. A thorough inspection can identify entry points and the species involved, which determines the most effective treatment. Your Proforce service professional will trace activity back to the source and treat accordingly.
Most ants are nuisance pests, but some species pose real concerns. Carpenter ants tunnel through wood and can cause structural damage over time. Fire ants deliver painful stings that can trigger allergic reactions. Pharaoh ants are known to spread bacteria. Identifying the species is the first step, and that is something our service professionals handle during every service visit.
For most ant treatments, you won’t need to leave. Our products are kid- & pet-friendly once dry, and your service professional will walk you through any specific guidelines before starting. If a situation calls for anything beyond standard application, we’ll let you know upfront.
That’s exactly what the Proforce Guarantee covers. If ants or any covered pest return between your scheduled services, call your local branch and we’ll come back out at no additional charge. No questions, no hassle.
