That’s where Seattle Pest Eliminators come in. Our professional ant exterminators have the knowledge and tools to handle any ant infestation, no matter the size or type.

What Makes Your Seattle Home Ant-Friendly?

Ants are always on the lookout for food, water, and shelter. Common reasons ants invade homes in Seattle include:

  • Food and Sweet Crumbs: Kitchens and pantries attract ants, especially sugary substances like spills, crumbs, and unsealed food containers.
  • Moisture: Ants need water to survive, which often brings them to bathrooms, kitchens, and even basements.
  • Warmth and Shelter: Seattle’s wet climate can push ants indoors in search of shelter, especially during colder months.
  • Entry Points: Cracks in walls, gaps around windows, and improperly sealed doors make it easier for ants to invade your home.

Identifying Ants in Your Home and How We Effectively Handle Them

At Seattle Pest Eliminators, we’ve dealt with various types of ants. Below are the most common species you may encounter in Seattle and how we handle each:

  1. Carpenter Ants: These ants nest in wood, causing damage over time. We target both indoor and outdoor nests to protect your structure.
  2. Odorous House Ants: Known for their foul odor when crushed, Odorous House Ants often invade kitchens. We use baiting and precise treatments to eliminate them effectively.
  3. Argentine Ants: These aggressive ants form large colonies and can quickly invade homes. Our team uses a comprehensive approach to eradicate them and prevent reinfestation.
  4. Acrobat Ants: Acrobat ants nest in damp wood and are identifiable by their heart-shaped abdomen. We provide treatment to eliminate nests and prevent damage to your home.
  5. Cow Killer Ants: While not dangerous to large animals, their painful sting can be an issue. These ants usually nest outside but may invade your home. We eliminate both outdoor nests and indoor invaders.
  6. Army Ants: Known for their large numbers and aggressive nature, Army Ants can overrun your home quickly. Our team uses specialized techniques to handle large infestations.
  7. Allegheny Mound Ants: These ants create large, visible mounds in yards and gardens. We treat both the mounds and any indoor colonies to ensure complete removal.
  8. Bigheaded Ants: With their distinctive large heads, these ants are aggressive and often invade food storage areas. We use eco-friendly solutions to eliminate them.
  9. Citronella Ants: These ants are recognized by their citrus scent. While typically outdoors, they may invade homes for food. We address both outdoor nests and indoor infestations to prevent a recurring problem.

Signs of an Ant Infestation You Shouldn’t Ignore

  • Food Contamination: Ants invade kitchens, pantries, and other food storage areas.
