Ants are everywhere in Southern California and Pest Control services are in high demand for the elimination of these marching bugs. Ants can be found in Riverside, Orange, San Bernardino, Los Angeles, and San Diego Counties. Different homes and buildings are infested more or less due to the location of where the property is, the vegetation surrounding the area, and the climate. There are several types of ants infesting Southern California and the most commonly seen ones are listed below.
Argentine Ants (Iridomyrmex humilis)
If you have ants inside your home it is most likely an Argentine Ant. They are small ants that vary in color such as black, brown, and light brown. Argentine Ants are attracted to strong distinct scents, such as food, and dwell around sinks, toilets, and plumbing areas.
Fire Ant (Solenopsis geminata)
Watch out the Fire Ant leaves a mark. They bite and sting leaving redness, pain, and irritation to the skin. Several serious allergic reactions are caused each year by the Fire Ant. They are found in drier areas such as dirt mounds, playgrounds, and sandy areas.
Carpenter Ants (Camponotus pennsylvanicus)
Carpenter Ants are drastically different from the Argentine and Fire Ants. Carpenter Ants burrow and live inside wood. Similar to termites, beetles, dry rot, and fungi, Carpenter Ants burrow tunnels in wood structures destroying the stability of many properties across the southland. They leave a powder like dust behind when they are actively carving through the wooden infrastructure.
