Odorous House Ant (Sugar Ant)

Odorous House Ant

Shape and size:

Odorous house ants are small in size, approximately 3mm in body length, and have one node, which is flat in shape. Their bodies are typically dark brown or black in color.

Signs of an Odorous House Ant infestation:

Odorous house ants are the most common ant species found year-round in the Puget Sound area. They are often found behind vegetation along foundations and under carpets inside homes. Although they don’t bite, sting or cause wood damage, odorous house ants can be very annoying as they frequently establish trails in your house along kitchen counters, cabinets, sinks and baseboards in search for food.

Stop Bugging Me Pest Control’s Ant Service includes the following:

  • Inspection – A thorough inspection will be conducted to identify the ant species and conditions that may be conducive to infestations.
  • Treatment – Based on the diagnosis, your Stop Bugging Me Pest Control technician will determine appropriate measures of control to exterminate the particular ant species. In most cases, ant services involve treatment of wall voids, and a liquid application in the interior and perimeter of the home.
  • Follow up – Written recommendations will be made to correct conducive conditions for ant infestations. A maintenance program is strongly recommended due to the movement of ant nests and trail locations. Our monthly and bi-monthly Recurring Service program comes with the peace-of-mind warranty meaning that re-treatments between visits come at no additional charge.
