Ants

Ants are a common problem in the Seattle area. There are more than 700 ant species in the United States, and about 25 of them are commonly found in homes in the Pacific Northwest region. While generally, they are just a nuisance, certain species of ants—like carpenter ants—require professional treatment to prevent costly damages. Eastside Exterminators provide expert ant pest control.

• Odorous House Ants - more commonly known as "sugar ants" or "little black ants," these ants are more common in areas where food crumbs are probable.
• Carpenter Ants - commonly confused with termites, they can also cause significant damage to the structure of your home. Because of their similarities with termites, it's necessary to know the signs of carpenter ants.
• Moisture Ants - brownish/goldish colored ants are usually found in soil where it's damp and dark; they will rarely be found above ground.
• Pavement Ants - tiny and black ants that typically tend to stay outside.
