Ants find their way indoors in search of food, water and shelter. In the LA & Riverside county, it is often due to changes in weather patterns like hot summer days, rains, or colder winter conditions. There are several different types of ants found in our area and Southland Pest Control treats them all by customizing a plan of action based on the type of infestation you're seeing.

Argentine ants, also known as black ants, are the most commonly found species of ants found in the southwest. These ants do not attack or compete with each other, which has helped them spread prolifically. Black ants are not poisonous to humans, but they can infiltrate a home quickly and take over bathrooms, kitchens and pantries in a matter of hours.
Carpenter ants are a wood-boring species of ant. They are often confused with termites because they build their colonies by boring tunnel systems into wood. These ants cause damage by weakening wood beams and other wooden structural material. In extreme cases, fumigation may be needed to remove the colony.
Like harvester ants, red imported fire ants build their colonies in large mounds. However, they prefer loose soil like sand. These ants also sting to defend their mounds when disturbed. Their stings can cause an allergic reaction to people or animals who are allergic to their venom.
