Local Ant Pest Control & Exterminators
Ants are an extremely common pest in Texas. If you live in Houston, Missouri City, Sugar Land, or Katy, you have probably come across any of the following types of ants, as they are the most common in this area:
Fire Ants
While fire ants can be found in mounds around your yard, they often don’t find their way inside your house. However, they can still pose a threat to you and your pets. If you have ever disturbed a fire ant mound, you know how painful their bites can be. They attack their threat or their prey in large numbers and you will certainly feel each little bite.
Getting rid of fire ants can be challenging as their mounds can often span across several yards and contain up to about 500,000 ants. Also, unlike other ants, fire ant colonies also tend to have multiple queens. Even killing a large part of their colony and one of their queens won’t eliminate these pests from your yard as they are able to recover with just one queen. The best and only way to ensure that you have absolutely no more fire ants in your yard is to contact a pest control expert.

Crazy Ants
Crazy ants can be identified by their disproportionately long legs and antennas in comparison to their torso. These ants do not form mounds and have been known to ruin electrical equipment, causing them to malfunction. They will displace all other ants in the region and will find their way into your home in search of food and warmth. Though their bite is not nearly as painful as that of a fire ant, they will still bite humans and cause you some pain and discomfort.
Crazy ants also tend to avoid the most conventional types of ant control treatments. When it comes to pest control for crazy ants, you need an expert that is well familiar with this particular ant type.
Odorous House Ants
Odorous house ants will also find their way into your home and eat virtually any and all food they find in their path. The difficulties in eliminating these ants is the fact that they are incredibly resilient. Workers can continue to work even after being severely injured and the queens can go a significant amount of time without eating - several months even. On top of that, they tend to nest inside the insulation of your home, making it more difficult for their nests to be located and eliminated.
Odorous house ants are easily identified by the sickly-sweet smell that they emit when they are crushed. If you see just one of these ants in your home, call an ant pest control specialist immediately! These ants breed very quickly. If you hesitate, you may soon find yourself with an infestation on your hands.
