ODOROUS ANT CONTROL IN KITSAP COUNTY, WA

Odorous House Ants (Tapinoma sessile) are small, dark brown ants. They are often referred to as “sugar ants” due to their fondness for sweet foods. They are found outdoors nesting beneath rocks, under logs and landscape timbers, under mulch, or just about anything lying on the ground.

Odorous Ant Problem in Kitsap County, WA

Many homes in this region are being built in or near forested areas, where ants are naturally found. Odorous house ants foraging in and around the home for food and/or water will often choose to establish colonies inside the structure since these items are readily available there.

Inside the home, they are generally found in wall voids, especially around hot water heaters and hot water pipes. These ants are often seen in the kitchen and bathroom beginning in early April.

Odorous house ants are attracted to sugary substances such as empty soda cans, syrups, and any other type of sweet food debris.

While these ants do not cause structural damage, they can be very annoying due to their presence in our homes.

Inspection

  • The goals of the initial inspection are to locate any odorous house ant colonies, to determine foraging areas, and to determine the treatment optimal for the particular situation.
  • Once foraging trails are identified, the next step is to implement a comprehensive baiting program to assure complete control of this ant.

Treatment

  • A variety of bait products will be utilized including gel, liquid, granular, and solid baits.
  • All of these products have low odor, low toxicity, and a high degree of acceptance by foraging odorous house ants.

Aftercare

  • Treatment should be followed with quarterly perimeter treatments to prevent re-infestations.
  • An outside perimeter treatment will also be performed to control those ants that forage on the outside of the home, as well as to control other insects that odorous house ants may feed on.
