Common Signs of an Ant Infestation

Identifying an ant infestation early can prevent significant problems. Here are some key indicators to watch for in your Henry County home or business:

• Visible Ant Trails: Observing lines of ants marching to and from food or water sources is a clear sign of an infestation.
• Ant Nests: Discovering small mounds of dirt or piles of debris near your foundation or in your yard can indicate a nest site.
• Food Contamination: Finding ants in your pantry, kitchen, or where food is stored signifies they've found a reliable food source.
• Damaged Wood or Structures: Some ant species, like carpenter ants, can cause structural damage by tunneling through wood.
• Increased Ant Activity: Noticing a sudden surge in ant sightings, especially indoors, suggests a growing population.
• Presence of Ant Eggs or Larvae: Finding tiny, white eggs or larvae indicates an active and reproducing colony.
• Sweet or Musty Odors: Some ant species emit distinct odors when disturbed, which can signal a large infestation.

Recognizing these signs allows for prompt action, preventing further spread and damage. If you notice any of these indicators, professional ant control services are highly recommended to address the issue effectively.

Common Ants in the Henry County and Benton County Areas:

Acrobat Ants - Acrobat ants are a common ant species in Missouri that can be found in moist areas,  including homes, and they are known for their ability to raise their abdomen over their head

Argentine Ants - These ants are native to Argentina and Brazil but were introduced to the United  States in the late 1800s. They are dark brown, about ¼ inch in size, and are known for 
contaminating food and emitting a musty odor. They are common in urban areas but can also be found  in rural areas.

Carpenter Ants - Carpenter ants are a common wood-destroying pest in Missouri, and they can cause  serious damage to homes and structures. Carpenter ants are attracted to moisture and can establish  nests in wood that is damp or damaged by water. They can also move nests from decaying wood into  sound lumber.

Odorous House Ants - The odorous house ant is the most common home-infesting ant species in  Missouri. To prevent them from coming into your home, you must eliminate standing water and look  around your foundation for cracks and holes through which they can access your house.

Pavement Ants - Pavement ants are a common pest in Missouri homes and can be found in kitchens,  patios, and other areas. Pavement ants are attracted to warmth and moisture and are most active at  night. They create chemical trails from their colony to food sources, and are known to eat dead and  live insects, plant juices, sugary foods, and protein-rich foods.

Sugar Ants - They often convene around unnoticed spills, sticky countertops, or dropped treats on  the floor. Sugar ants will also sneak into closed cabinets or cupboards in search of hidden-away sweets, searching for any small cracks and crevices to enter through.
