Ants aren’t a pest that you spend much time worrying about, but they are a common household pest and can be extremely bothersome once they get inside. Furthermore, although most of them are simply a nuisance, some ants can be dangerous. If you have ants in your house and are ready to stop finding them crawling across your countertops, it’s time to contact Beeline Pest Control.
Ants are annoying. They can cause a lot of problems, not the least of which is destroying your home. Knowing when you have an ant infestation is crucial to proper ant control in Omaha.
In addition to recognizing the signs of an ant invasion, you must also identify which ant species is causing the problem. In Nebraska, we have several species to contend with. Thankfully, only a few of them will make it into your home or cause real harm.
Probably the most annoying of Nebraska’s ants is the odorous house ant. These ants are usually found in the walls or under the floors of your home. You will know you have odorous house ants if they give off a terrible smell when crushed.
Carpenter ants and pavement ants can also get into your home. Carpenter ants are the large black ants usually found on or in wood. Pavement ants are very small and love to invade your kitchen and bathrooms. If you have a number of tiny ants in your home, they are likely pavement ants.
Ants need food and water, just like every other living creature. They are likely invading your home because they have found one or both of those things.
Damp areas or leaky pipes will attract ants because they provide ready access to water. Food is a huge reason that Omaha homes end up with ant infestations. Crumbs and leftovers, especially sweet or greasy foods, are very attractive to ants. Having a trash can with no lid or an ill-fitting lid is another reason your home may have ants.
It is very important to treat your ant problem as soon as you discover it. Although the ants you find in Omaha are not dangerous to people and they won’t attack you or your family, they can cause a lot of damage.
Carpenter ants nest in wood. They don’t eat wood like termites, which slows the progression of the damage they cause; however, a large colony nesting in your home can create structural damage and an unsafe living situation.
You don’t want odorous house ants in your home because of their nasty smell. No one wants their house stunk up by ants. Plus, any type of ant can ruin your food. Having a swarm of ants on a pet dish or in your sink is not sanitary or attractive.
In order to ensure your Omaha home remains ant-free, contact Beeline Pest Control today. We offer free quotes and same day service at no extra charge. Our fully-licensed and trained staff are happy to help you solve your ant problem, no matter the weather or season.
When we come to your house, we’ll inspect to identify the type of ant causing problems, determine how they’re getting inside, and where they’re active, both inside and out. Depending on the type of ant, we’ll place bait where we find activity, both in interior and exterior locations, as well as at entry points that they’re using to access your house. The ants take this bait back to their colony, where it will work its way through until it eliminates the entire colony.
