When home or business owners see ants inside or around their property, it’s a clear signal that a colony may be nearby. While these industrious pests may seem harmless, ants can cause damage. At O’Connor Pest Control, our team is equipped with the knowledge, know-how, and right treatment plans to rid your home or business in Ventura County and Santa Barbara County of any ant infestation. TYPES OF ANTS There are an estimated 10,000 to 15,000 identified species of ants worldwide. In Ventura County and Santa Barbara County, there are six that are seen most commonly. These include the Argentine ant, Pharaoh ant, Odorous ant, Acrobat ant, Fire ants, and the Carpenter ant. Other Southern California ant species include the velvety tree ant, black ant, and the harvester ant. POTENTIAL PROPERTY DAMAGE AND HEALTH ISSUES Of all the ants prevalent in Southern California, the carpenter ant is the species that can cause significant structural damage. Carpenter ants, usually black, burrow into softwood to build a nest and start a new colony or expand an already existing colony. The pharaoh ant prefers to nest indoors, especially when it is cold outside. They will make their nests in dark and secluded places where they have access to moisture and warmth. While they do not burrow and destroy wood, like other ants, they can carry bacteria and illness with them. For ant species that bite and/or sting, such as fire ants, when an interaction occurs, it can lead to health issues for individuals who are allergic to the venom or formic acid and have a negative reaction. THE PROBLEM WITH DO-IT-YOURSELF ANT CONTROL TREATMENTS There are many do-it-yourself methods for ant control, from over-the-counter sprays and baits to retail pesticides and natural home remedies. Completely removing the main colony or all of the ant’s sub colonies can be pretty challenging because the ants can just abandon the current colony and move to another nearby location. This means an ongoing population of ants, and why we recommend calling in professionals for ant control.
