Little Black Ant Control
Seeing swarms of small black ants in the house may be fairly common during the summer bug months. However, they can be a real pest in any home, especially in the kitchen. Just over a millimeter in length, little black ants are often lured by food, especially any spilled or seeping liquids. When little black ants have infested your home, odds are you won't be able to actually see their colony, as these ants often build colonies in your home's woodwork or in concrete cracks. Fortunately, our professional small black ant control technicians can identify any infestations for you in a safe and timely manner.

Do You Need Little Black Ants Removal Services?
By design, your home might look like the perfect spot: woodwork and masonry or soil and yard debris all seem like good nesting locations. Yet, it's only when they enter your home and refuse to leave do they turn into a problem. Generally, poorly stored food is the source. However, an open garbage pail or dessert left on the counter isn't solely the reason. Ant odor receptors are actually four to five times stronger than those of other insects. As such, even the smallest trace of food – crumbs, a drop of juice or even fruit peels – seems pungent and gets detected.
Along with food, little black ants seek out a water source and your kitchen or bathroom sink looks perfect. When you've got an infestation, it's fairly common to see these ants congregating around a drain, near a dishwasher or any place water doesn't fully drain. With these factors considered, an infestation typically looks like a combination of the following:
- Ants are always in the house, often in multiple locations.
- You spot them crawling along the bathroom or kitchen floor.
- You find them in your cabinets and around your sinks.
- You see them entering and leaving from cracks and gaps, both on the outside and inside.
Not only will the expert technicians at Eliminate 'Em get rid of little black ants in your house, we'll also seal cracks and voids in your home, so that these pests can't come back. For little black ant control and extermination, give Eliminate 'Em a call today to schedule your appointment.
Why Should You Contact a Little Black Ants Extermination Professional?
-
Colony Expansion These ants have multiple queens, allowing colonies to split and grow rapidly.
-
Food Tainting Because they are scavengers, they crawl over waste before entering your pantry.
-
Tiny Entryways Their microscopic size allows them to enter through the smallest cracks in masonry.
-
Ineffective DIY Over-the-counter sprays often just scatter the ants, making them harder to track.
-
Hidden Nests Nests are often located under rocks or cement, requiring professional-grade baits.
-
Persistent Foraging Once they find food, they leave trails that lead the entire colony into your kitchen.
