How did I get ants?
Ants get into your home the same way most other insects do – through cracks and crevices in woodwork or through gaps around doors or windows. They go where they can find food and water sources, which they can commonly find in or around homes. They are especially drawn toward places where sugary substances, crumbs, pet food, or protein are easily accessible to them.
What kind of ants are in Sacramento?
- Argentine Ants – These ants range from light to dark brown, and they are attracted to sweets and some plants, as well as moisture, so they are often found in areas around your home’s foundation. They give off a musty smell when crushed.
- Carpenter Ants – These ants are typically yellowish-red, black, or brown. As their name suggests, they bore through wooden structures in your home. They are also attracted to sweets, dead trees, and firewood piles.
- Pharaoh Ants – The ants are yellowish in color and tend to live in cracks or crevices, in insulation, or behind baseboards or walls. They are attracted to sweets, fats, and other insects.

- Pavement Ants – These ants are dark brown to black and build their nests under stones or along sidewalks or foundations. They feed on sweets, grease, and proteins.
- Odorous House Ants – These ants are dark brown or black and emit a foul odor when they are crushed. They often build their nests in hollow doors, tree stumps, and fence posts. They are drawn toward sweets and meat.
- Velvety Tree Ants – These ants typically have a brownish-black head, a red thorax, and a black abdomen, and they emit a foul odor when crushed. They typically build shallow nests in dead wood, such as tree stumps or logs.
- Thief Ants – These ants are yellowish-brown and typically make their nests under rocks, inside walls, behind baseboards, or in decaying wood. They are attracted to grease, dead insects, and dead rodents.
How much does ant control cost?
The cost to have ants exterminated can vary greatly according to the severity of the infestation and which methods are used, but you can expect to pay around $150 for an initial treatment and $100 – $120 for follow up services. Follow up services are typically done on a bimonthly or quarterly basis.

Will ants go away on their own?
Ant won’t typically leave on their own. They multiply very quickly, so a small infestation can easily become a larger one, leaving even more ants. So even if you think they have gone, there will be others to take their places. Cleaning up spills and food waste may eliminate a food source for ants, but that is usually temporary since they will just go to another part of your property to find another source.
Probably Not
What do pest control companies use for ants?
Pest control companies have several options for products to eliminate ants. A pest control technician would evaluate your specific situation and make a thorough assessment of your needs before deciding which products should be used. Some of these products are liquid sprays, foggers, granules, dusts, or baits, and in many instances, using a combination of some of these products may provide the best results.
Techniques:
Liquid Sprays
Foggers
Dust
Granules
Baits
How do I get rid of ants permanently?
The best way to keep ants away once they are eliminated is to have ongoing maintenance to treat your property. This can prevent ants from returning and new infestations forming. Your pest control technician may use a bait system that includes pesticides.
Ants who take the bait will carry those pesticides back to their nests, which will kill the other ants in the next. Your technician can provide you with a recommendation on the best way to protect your property from another infestation.
