Common Ant Species in Northern California

Ants are common invaders in many homes across the US, and identifying the species you’re dealing with is the first step toward effective control. Different ant species have unique behaviors, diets, and nesting habits, so knowing which type is causing trouble is essential to effectively control their populations. 

Here in Alameda, you may encounter: 

  • Argentine ants. These species create massive colonies that can quickly lead to huge infestations. They are commonly found moving in long trails between their colonies and food services, and, because they favor sweets and oily foods, they are commonly found in kitchens and pantries. 
  • Little black ants. These tiny ants typically swam in summer. They are typically found in rotting wood, voids and cracks, lawns, and other open areas, including within walls. Eliminating an infestation includes removing debris, sealing gaps and cracks, and targeted chemical treatments.
  • Fire ants. Known for their fiery red color and painful sting, fire ants build large mounds in yards and open spaces. Disturbing their nests can result in aggressive attacks.

Do Ants Only Infest Pantries?

While it is true that ants are often attracted to food sources like sugar, crumbs, and spills typically found in kitchens and pantries, they can also invade other areas of your home. Ants are resourceful creatures that seek out moisture, warmth, and shelter in addition to food. Bathrooms, basements, and laundry rooms are common places where ants may hide, as they are drawn to leaky pipes, damp areas, and other sources of moisture.

Additionally, some ant species do not invade homes solely for food. Carpenter ants, for example, often tunnel into wood to create their nests, potentially causing structural damage to your home. Meanwhile, odorous house ants might be drawn to indoor plants or pet food. By keeping all areas of your home clean and addressing issues like excess moisture or structural cracks, you can prevent these persistent pests from making themselves comfortable anywhere in your house.
