Ants are a common pest in Tucson, and while they may seem harmless, they can cause significant problems in and around your home. At Arizona Pest Control, we specialize in identifying and eliminating these pesky intruders to keep your property safe and comfortable. Here’s a look at some of the common ant species you might encounter in Tucson and how we can help you manage them.
Common Ant Species in Tucson
1. Argentine Ants
Argentine ants are small, light to dark brown ants that tend to invade homes in search of food and water. They are known for their large colonies and aggressive behavior towards other ant species.
2. Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are larger ants that can cause structural damage to your home by hollowing out wood to build their nests. They are usually black but can also be red or a combination of both.
3. Odorous House Ants
These ants emit a foul odor when crushed, earning them their name. They are small, dark brown to black ants that are attracted to sugary foods and can quickly become a nuisance in your kitchen and pantry.
4. Fire Ants
Fire ants are reddish-brown and known for their painful stings. They build large mounds in open areas and can be particularly aggressive when their nests are disturbed.
5. Pavement Ants
Pavement ants are small, brown to black ants that typically nest under sidewalks, driveways, and building foundations. They often enter homes in search of food.
