| Ant Species | What to Look For | Where You Find It | What It Means |

| Odorous House Ants | Small, dark brown to black. Smell like rotten coconut when crushed. | Kitchens, bathrooms, near sweets and moisture. | Nuisance ants going after food with indoor trails. Often have multiple nests. |
| Pavement Ants | Small, dark brown. Small dirt piles at cracks. | Driveways, patios, foundation cracks, slab edges. | Forage indoors for food; build nests beneath slabs and pavers. |
| Little Black Ants | Tiny, shiny black. | Kitchens, pantries, walls, and sinks. | Nest in soil and enter through tiny structural cracks. |
Take a clear photo or save a few ants in a sealed bag and call us at (405) 584-6244 if you're not sure.
We ask where and when you see ants, then inspect kitchens, bathrooms, windows, foundations, and yards.
We confirm the precise type and behavior to determine the correct treatment strategy.
We follow active trails, inspect wall voids, soil, and wood, and locate moisture sources.
We use advanced baits, targeted treatments, or exterior barriers depending on the specific species.
We treat the perimeter and entry points to stop new invaders from entering your home.
We provide clear homeowner instructions while the treatment works and perform re-checks.
Baits are slow-acting on purpose. Worker ants carry the bait back to the nest and share it, reaching the entire colony. If you spray bait trails with repellent spray, you can break this process, so please wait for our guidance.
Carpenter ants don't eat wood like termites, but they excavate it to build nests, preferring wood that's wet or already damaged.
Warning signs: Fine sawdust-like shavings below small holes, rustling sounds inside walls, and large black ants indoors, especially at night or in spring.
The nest might be hidden in a wall void, attic, porch, or tree near the house. A proper inspection finds the nest and the moisture problem behind it.
Not sure it's ants? Termite damage and carpenter ant damage can look similar. If you see mud tubes or swarmers, see our Termite Control page.
| Feature | Winged Ant | Termite Swarmer |
|---|---|---|
| Antennae | Bent (elbowed) | Straight |
