Signs You Might Have an Ant Problem in Arlington
![ant_control_near_me](https://highlandecopestcontrol.com/wp-content/uploads/ant_control_near_me.jpg)
Many ants are somewhat shy; some ants are nocturnal, most active at night.
Homeowners in Arlington can have ant infestations in walls or other parts of their homes without realizing it.
Besides watching for lines of marching ants, look for additional signs of ant infestations:
- Watch where ants come and go. Scout ants scope out food sources and lay pheromone trails for swarms of other ants to follow.
- Trails or piles of sawdust can indicate ants nesting in wood.
- Damaged wood attracts ants. Inspect woodwork and trees.
- Small piles of dirt or larger mounds can indicate an ant nest. Look for the central hole leading to a giant underground network with thousands of resident ants.

Whether you see just a few tiny ants in your kitchen or a pair of large black ants in your house, you’ll want to investigate pest control treatment before the ant problem in your home gets severe. These are the most common types of ants you’re likely to see in Arlington.
- Sugar ants. Small brown ants in your kitchen marching along your countertop toward crumbs or sweet food residue are commonly called sugar ants. While sugar ants generally aren’t harmful, they are unsightly. Tiny white ants, black ants, or yellow ants can also fall in the category of sugar ants.
- Odorous ants. If you smell rotten coconut when you crush a small brown or black ant, it’s probably an odorous ant. They like sweet foods, particularly honeydew and flower nectar outside or any crumbs and spills inside.
- Pavement ants. Kids love watching these small ants marching in lines from piles of soft sand in cracks in sidewalks. When pavement ants move indoors, they can nest in your floors and even bite.
- Pharaoh ants. Light brown pharaoh ants like warm indoor spots and tend to create numerous splinter colonies. Some studies indicate pharaoh ants can aggravate asthma and allergies.
- Carpenter ants. Moisture appeals to carpenter ants. These black ants establish nests in rotting or damaged wood. You might see carpenter ants in your house too. Winged queen ants appear in early summer. Carpenter ant treatment prevents further damage to wooden structures.
- Red imported fire ants. These ants are highly venomous, causing extreme reactions in some people. While fire ants are not yet common in Northern Virginia, warmer temperatures have made it possible to occasionally see them in northern migration.
When you see ants in your home, try to capture a sample in a plastic bag to aid in identification.
