Ant Pest Control in Sacramento Metro and East Bay Area

Ants are one of the most common insects you can find. But in large numbers inside your property, they can become a nuisance that can affect your home or business, especially for certain types of ants. While many household ant types are relatively harmless, others can cause stinging pain, carry harmful bacteria, or cause significant property damage. Regardless of the type of ants, it’s best to prevent and deter ants from infesting your property. 

But given their size, living habits, and ability to reproduce exponentially, an ant infestation can be difficult to treat with everyday DIY remedies. Rather than killing all visible ants, the best solution is to exterminate the colony and remove the infestation completely. To do this effectively, you’ll need the help of reliable professional pest control services in Sacramento Metro and the East Bay Area. 

Pinnacle Pest Control is a family-owned pest control company in Sacramento, CA. Our eco-friendly pest control solutions ensure we remove all pests in residential and commercial properties while also taking steps to prevent future infestations. We offer effective pest infestation solutions to ensure your property remains a bug-free zone through our integrated pest management services.

Ant Pest Control: What Ants Can Do to Your Home or Business

There are over a thousand ant species found in the United States. While most ants are relatively harmless and ant activity in your property more of a nuisance than an actual health risk, some ants can negatively affect your household, employees, customers, or even your supplies, furniture, and the structure of the property itself. 

Pavement ants can be a nuisance that get into outdoor areas like near your trash cans, in your garage, or any outdoor lounge area. While they aren’t harmful, they can be an overwhelming eyesore in large numbers. An odorous house ant is good at finding food sources, but a colony of odorous house ants can contaminate food with their nesting habits and the odor they leave behind when killed. They’re also carriers of bacteria like E. coli, salmonella, streptococcus, and more. A carpenter ant can tunnel into wood to establish their colonies, making a colony of carpenter ants a threat to your property’s structure and areas like bathrooms and kitchen that are prone to moist, damp areas near wood. It can take years for regular people to notice the damage, but when they do, it can be difficult to fix. And then you have various types of red ants (e.g. fire ant or army ant) that can cause painful or itchy bites. 

These are just some examples of ants that can harm your home or business. But how can you tell the difference between these types of ants? Aside from factors like size and color, the everyday homeowners and business owners can’t differentiate specific types of ants. That’s why it’s important to deal with any type of ant infestation as a property and health risk and have professionals handle your ant infestation at home.

Residential Pest Control in Sacramento & East Bay Areas

At Pinnacle Pest Control, we provide a full pest management service that can keep your home safe and free of infestations. Ants are more than just a nuisance to your home and can pose several risks to you, your family, and your property. 

Ants like carpenter ants can hollow certain types of wood, which can affect wooden parts in your property’s structure, as well as any wood furniture you have. It can take years to notice their effects on your property. And by then, repair costs to fix the damage can be significant. 

Odorous house ants can also affect your home’s pantry and food supply. Odorous house ants can find food sources and contaminate them with their nesting habits and potential bacteria. These commonly settle near food sources, so practices of nesting close to your food souce can contaminate your food or leave an odor that can affect the quality of your food. 

Some types of ants can also pose health risks. Aside from the potential bacteria they carry, certain types of red ant bites can cause pain and discomfort. This can be a nuisance when they make their way into your clothes or furniture, allowing them to crawl on your body and bite at random areas. Most ant bites aren’t dangerous, but scratching the skin can lead to irritation and infections. And if you have an ant infestation with more harmful ant species like a fire ant, this can be an even bigger risk as their venomous stings are more painful, can lead to symptoms that can range from swelling to dizziness, and can even cause life-threatening allergic reactions for some people. 

Finally the presence of ants indoors can lead to a chain reaction of inviting other pests to invade your property. An insect enters your home because it has what it needs to thrive. With a huge colony of ants in your home, you’re inviting other pests like spiders, bats, lizards, and more to thrive in your home. 

Commercial Pest Control in Sacramento

Ants can also be a nuisance for businesses in various industries. That’s why Pinnacle Pest Control offers comprehensive eco-friendly pest control services that can keep ants out of sight and out of mind and ensure pest-free operations.

Infestations can harm your business in a number of ways. If your business is in the food industry, ants can contaminate your pantry, which will require you to toss out food. If left unchecked, ants can constantly invade your pantry and cost you more operating expenses on wasted food. And these ants can spread to your food or create a visible ant trail to your front of house, which can affect your reputation and how customers perceive your business’ cleanliness. 

And even outside of the food industry, ants can pose serious risks. Carpenter ants can cause property damage to the structure of your business and other wooden fixtures. They can spread bacteria when they come into contact with food. And for some employees and customers, there’s a risk of allergic reactions from several types of ants.

FAQs About Ant Control

Q: Are DIY pest control solutions effective for treating my ant problem?

A: While products like bug sprays, bait stations, and other DIY insect control products can kill ants to some degree, if your home has an ant infestation problem, these solutions are more like a short-term band-aid solution that doesn’t solve the problem. Professional pest control services eliminate the well-hidden colonies that can produce hundreds of new eggs every day. To target the problem at its root, you’ll need effective pest control solutions from a trained ant exterminator. 

Q: What is integrated pest management, and do you provide it?

A: Integrated pest management is a full-service we offer that goes the distance when it comes to protecting your home. Other pest control companies will inspect your property, kill the ant colony with harmful chemicals, and call it a day. At Pinnacle Pest Control, we use eco-friendly products and go beyond just eliminating ants. We also provide pest prevention techniques to ensure that your home is protected and deters ants from re-establishing a new colony on your property. 

Q: Why are ants attracted to my property? 

A: There are a number of possible reasons why ants are attracted to your property, but the main reason is that your property has everything they need to build a thriving colony: food and water source, and a moist and dark location for them to burrow and nest. Some ants may also settle outdoors and create an ant mound within your property. They can then use certain entry points and nesting spots in your home to build satellite colonies indoors. Keeping your property clean and taking steps to prevent ant infestations can help, like using airtight containers for food and checking for plumbing leaks.
