About Ants
Ants are some of the most common and most troublesome pests in the United States. There are thousands of ant species, but the ones that most often become a problem are the ones that live in large colonies and that are able to get into buildings. Ants are social insects that typically live in underground colonies, made up of workers and a queen. Ants will eat practically any kind of food, but are especially attracted to sweets. Ant identification is relatively simple due to their three distinct body regions: head, thorax, and abdomen, as well as antennae. Despite similar construction, ants vary in overall appearance. Small or large ants and brown or black ants are common nicknames for different species.
What Do Ants Look Like?
Ants can be black, brown, red, or yellow. They are usually less than 1/2-inch long. Ants have three distinct body regions: head, thorax, and abdomen. Ants also have a narrow or pinched “waist,” and their antennae are “elbowed.”

Why Do I Have Ants in My Home?
Ants usually are looking for food. They are attracted to sweet and sticky substances. Once they find a source of food, ants will leave a pheromone trail for other ants to follow.
Common things that attract ants include:
- Food: Ants are scavengers and are attracted to food. They are especially attracted to food that is sweet or high in protein.
- Moisture: Some ants, like carpenter ants, are attracted to moisture. Make sure that there are no leaks under your sink and that your gutters are in good working order.
- Garbage: Make sure that your garbage cans are tightly sealed and that they are emptied on a regular basis.
- Clutter: Ants are attracted to clutter. Make sure that you keep your home as neat and tidy as possible.
What Are the Signs of an Ant Infestation?
Some of the most common signs of an ant infestation include seeing live ants, seeing ant pathways, and seeing piles of sawdust. In some cases, you may even be able to hear ants in your walls.
Common signs of an ant infestation include:
- You see live ants in your home.
- You see ant pathways. Ants leave a pheromone trail for other ants to follow. This trail is often visible to the naked eye.
- You see piles of sawdust. Some ants, like carpenter ants, build nests in wood. As they dig out their nests, they produce sawdust.
- You hear ants in your walls. If you hear a faint rustling noise coming from your walls, you may have an ant infestation.

"I'm giving this five stars, for two reasons; 1. The staff you speak to on the phone are incredibly polite! If you have a problem, they will listen and do their 100% best to solve it. 2. When I had my initial service done, I felt, at the time, that it was not to my expectations. Immediately I called the customer service folks. The very next day they sent out a manager to come fix any concerns I had. I recommend this company because their prices are low and their service is excellent."

"We have been faithful customer's for many years in 2 different homes in The Woodlands. The guys were always professional and left service cards at the door. When we moved to the last home in 2014, we had a major cutter ant issue!! They appeared out of nowhere and were destroying everything in sight! I called the office in a panic and the gal got someone out the very next day. He not only took care of all the beds, he followed the ant trail all the way to the back of the preserve and knocked those suckers out! We now live in Denver, Colorado. I was so pleased to find a locally owned Preventative Pest control - they are awesome too. When we move back to TW, I'll just pick right back up with you guys!"
