Ants in Seattle homes
Seattle's mild, wet weather lets rats and mice stay active year-round, and its ravines and parks keep raccoons close to homes. A few ants on the counter usually means a colony in the walls, under the slab or in the yard. Different ants need different treatments: sugar ants, pavement ants, carpenter ants and fire ants all behave differently. A pest control provider can identify the ant and treat the colony, not just the ones you can see.
Signs of ants
- Trails of ants along counters, baseboards or window sills
- Small piles of soil near slabs, walls or cracks
- Fine sawdust (frass) near wood, a sign of carpenter ants
- Winged ants inside the house
- Mounds in the yard near the foundation
Call a Seattle pro if:
- Ants keep coming back after you clean
- You see winged ants indoors
- You find sawdust near wood trim or framing
- Ants are coming from inside the walls
Why it's worth getting help
- Carpenter ants hollow out damp wood and can damage a home over time.
- Fire ants sting, and some people react badly to stings.
- Store-bought sprays often split colonies and spread the problem.
What a local provider does
- Identify the ant species and find the colony
- Use baits and targeted treatments that reach the nest
- Point out moisture problems and entry points
