Ants

At Noble Pest Services, we understand how frustrating it can be to find ants invading your home. Serving Acworth, Georgia, and the surrounding areas for over 15 years, we've encountered a variety of ant species that commonly make their way indoors. Knowing which ants you're dealing with is the first step toward effective pest control and protecting your home. Here's a look at some of the most common ants found in Georgia homes and what you can do about them.

1. Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are one of the most notorious ant species in Georgia. These large ants, often black or dark brown, don't eat wood but tunnel through it to create their nests. This behavior can cause structural damage to your home if left unchecked.

Signs of infestation: You might notice rustling noises inside walls or find piles of sawdust-like material near wooden structures.

Why it matters: Carpenter ants can weaken your home's wood framework, leading to expensive repairs.

2. Odorous House Ants

Odorous house ants are small, dark brown to black ants named for the distinctive coconut-like smell they emit when crushed. They are attracted to sweets and often invade kitchens and pantries.

Signs of infestation: Trails of ants leading to food sources, especially sugary items.

Why it matters: While they don't cause structural damage, their presence can be a nuisance and contaminate food.

3. Pavement Ants

These ants are dark brown or black and commonly nest under sidewalks, driveways, and building foundations. Pavement ants can enter homes searching for food, especially proteins and sweets.

Signs of infestation: Small piles of soil near cracks in pavement or foundation, and ant trails inside the home.

Why it matters: They can contaminate food and become a persistent indoor pest.

4. Fire Ants

Though more commonly found outdoors, fire ants can sometimes find their way indoors. Recognizable by their reddish color and aggressive behavior, fire ants deliver painful stings that can cause allergic reactions.

Signs of infestation: Mounds of soil outside, and aggressive ants inside your home or yard.

Why it matters: Fire ants pose a health risk due to their stings and can disrupt outdoor living spaces.
