House Sugar Ant Exterminators
Getting a sugar ant infestation under control is no easy task. Sugar, pavement and carpenter ants can enter your home through the tiniest of cracks – and trying to get rid of them on your own is nearly impossible. Sugar ants seek out high-carbohydrate sweet foods, proteins and fats, and have also been known to consume plant pollen. Even when you clean up spills and residue that could attract these pests, ants' odor receptors are four to five times as strong as other insects. Thus, trace amounts of these foods may bring on an infestation.

Do You Need Sugar Ants Removal Services?
No matter the species, there are a handful of signs that clearly indicate a sugar ant infestation:
- Ants are present in your home, especially at night. At this time of the day, they come to feed on foods containing sugar and fat. The ants usually return to their nests by dawn.
- Hill-like nests outdoors or in certain parts of your home, including your basement and crawlspaces.
- Pathways ants regularly follow – a trail has been established to a food source within your home.
Regardless of how the ants got there, it becomes difficult to get them to leave. Once they have exhausted all sweet and fatty sources, they may go onto chew through paper, cardboard and plastic containers. In the process, they may start to attract other pests, including spiders and centipedes.
