How to Prevent Ants in Your Home

With over 12,000 species worldwide, ants are one of the most common pests. Homeowners everywhere have had to deal with their fair share of ant invasions, which can be quite difficult to prevent. The key to preventing an ant infestation is modifying the habitat around and within your home.

Ants are constantly on the hunt for shelter, water, and food. Homes with ground coverage (such as mulch, gravel, and rocks) around the foundation are commonly infested with ants because this coverage provides a perfect shelter for them. In addition, homes with moisture problems (such as an overwatered lawn or leaky roof) will attract ants.

Lastly, ants are always searching for a food source to feed their colonies. Homes with left out cat or dog food, ripe fruit, uncovered food, crumbs, or spilled sugary drinks, are also at risk of an ant infestation.

To prevent ants, you need to:

• Eliminate moisture problems
• Eliminate ground coverage around the foundation of your home
• Store all food in airtight containers
• Clean up spilled drinks or crumbs right away
• Take your trash out regularly
• Put away any uneaten dog or cat food

Most Common Ants in Arkansas

In our nearly 40 years of service experience, we have dealt with every type of pest imaginable. There are thousands of species of ants, but the two most common types of ants we see in Arkansas are odorous house ants and fire ants.

Odorous ants are small black or brown ants that often emit a rotten coconut-like odor as they carry food back and forth to the rest of their colony. Fire ants are very aggressive, reddish-brown ants that are known to bite and sting anyone who disturbs their nest.
