Our technicians at Titan Pest & Wildlife are fully equipped with the most effective strategies for completely removing ant populations.

Why Do You Have Ants in Your Home?

No one is immune to having ants in their home. It doesn’t matter how clean or tidy your house is, ants are opportunists, and if they need and can find it in your home, they will.

While you may not like them, ants are actually amazing creatures. They can enter your home through the tiniest of cracks, searching for food and water in the kitchen, bathroom, storeroom areas, and any other part of a house. They leave an invisible chemical trail for others to follow once they find a source inside your home.

Types of Ants

There are hundreds of ant species throughout the U.S. However, there are only a small group of ants that typically invade homes in Missouri. Some of these types include:

• Pharaoh ants

• Pavement ants

• Odorous ants

• Sugar ants

• Carpenter ants

• Field ants

• Fire ants

How to Get Rid of Ants
