Here’s a closer look at the types of ants you may encounter in our area.

Each type of ant presents unique challenges that require specialized treatment plans that our Oklahoma City Pest Control team is trained to handle. When it comes to ant control, it is important to understand the different types of ants and their behaviors in order to effectively eliminate them from your home or business.

Argentine ants are small but highly aggressive. They invade property in large numbers, especially in search of food and water. They can form super colonies, displacing other ant species and making them particularly difficult to control.

These large, black or reddish brown ants are notorious for damaging wood structures. Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood but tunnel into it to create nests, weakening beams, decks, and furniture over time.

Named for the strong, rotten coconut-like scent they emit when crushed, odorous house ants are often found in areas with sugary foods or waste. Kitchens, sinks, and bathrooms are common hotspots for these ants.

One of the more dangerous species, fire ants are known for their painful stings, which can cause severe allergic reactions. They often build large mounds in open areas, posing risks to children, pets, and anyone nearby.

Pavement ants thrive under sidewalks, driveways, and other concrete surfaces. They frequently make their way indoors, seeking food and leaving behind trails that can quickly worsen an infestation.

Sugar ants are particularly attracted to sweet foods. These tiny ants often infiltrate cupboards and food storage areas, making them a nuisance for homeowners. They are also good at hiding in wall cracks and small crevices.

Why Professional Ant Removal is Necessary

Ants are incredibly resilient and adaptable, which often makes DIY removal methods ineffective and expensive. That’s why our professional ant removal services are the smartest choice to protect your property.

Comprehensive Detection

Our professional exterminators can identify ant species, locate colonies, and assess the extent of the infestation.

Effective Treatments

Store-bought sprays and traps often address only surface-level issues. Professional solutions eliminate ants at their source.

Prevention Strategies

Beyond treating infestations, experts implement strategies to reduce the risk of future invasions.

Safe Solutions

Professionals use eco-friendly treatments that are safe for families, pets, and the environment while effectively targeting ants.

Once we understand the infestation, we initiate targeted treatments designed for maximum effectiveness. Our methods may include:

Eco Friendly Treatments

Using safe, environmentally friendly solutions that eliminate ants without posing risks to your household.

Barrier Creation

Bait Systems

Deploying bait traps that attract and kill ants at the source, ensuring colony wide elimination.

Long-Term Prevention

Preventing future infestations is just as important as addressing the current problem. We help secure properties with steps like:

Sealing cracks, gaps, and other potential entry points.

Offering ongoing monitoring services to detect and manage new ant activity.

Providing expert recommendations on maintaining a clean environment that’s less attractive to ants.
