THE ANT: A FASCINATING & PERVASIVE PEST
While they may be seen primarily as a nuisance, ants really are challenging and interesting creatures. The more that pest control professionals know about ants, the better they can respect, understand and effectively eliminate them from homes and businesses. The following are some interesting facts about ants that may surprise you.
Ant Physiology and Anatomy:
- The average human weighs about 10 million times as much as an ant, yet it’s estimated that all the ants in the world weigh just as much as all the humans in the world. Obviously, ants outnumber us considerably.
- Ants have geniculate (elbowed) antennae, that are used to detect a broad range of chemical smells.
- Ants cannot eat solid foods. The solid foods they collect are digested by their developing larvae.
- Ant colonies produce winged reproductive males and females once per year. The male’s sole role in an ant colony is for reproduction, after which they soon expire.
- Ants are thought to have developed from ancient solitary wasps.
- Ants possess disinfecting glands, that help the colony to remain disease-free. In fact, ants are studied for their antibiotic capabilities.
- The foraging worker ants we see are all sterile females.
- Killing an ant colony by killing the worker ants is nearly impossible, because the foraging workers observed represent less that about 10 percent of the total colony population.
Ant Behavior:
- Ants follow chemical, or pheromone, trails. These trails can last a long time, and only one milligram of pheromone is enough for ants to circle the earth three times.
- Ants communicate with each other via various means, including vision, vibrations and touch, but about 90 percent of this communication is chemical (via pheromone trails).
- Chemical scents are how ants distinguish their colony members from outsiders.
- Mapped out, foraging ants may appear to wander in a haphazard fashion when searching for food. However, once an acceptable food resource is found, the foraging ant then takes a direct path back to the colony.
- Ants can control the temperatures within their colonies by constructing mounds that provide insulation. To increase the temperature, the ants will sun themselves to warm their bodies. They then crawl back into the mound to increase the temperature therein.
- Ants enjoy beneficial relationships with other species, including aphids and caterpillars.
- Certain spider species mimic ants to take advantage by feeding upon them in various ways.
Different Ant Species:
- Since their introduction from South America into the United States in the late 1920s, the red imported fire ant (Solenopsis invicta) is responsible for more than 100 human deaths.
- Certain species of ants can successfully forage, even in the Sahara Desert, where temperatures exceed 130°F.
- Leafcutter ants (Atta and Acromyrmex spp.) work as farmers. They cut out sections of leaves from which they grow a fungus to feed upon.
- Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) and odorous house ants (Tapinoma sessile) may forage as far as 300 feet or more from their colony.
- Army ant (Formicidae) colonies are a like-minded mob which are capable of destroying larger prey due to their organized and cooperative behavior.
Identify Your Pest
Ants are one of the most common household pests, and once they find a food source, they can invade in large numbers. They enter through the smallest cracks, contaminating food and creating persistent trails throughout kitchens, pantries, and other areas. Some species, like carpenter ants, can even cause structural damage by nesting inside wood. At Area Wide Exterminators, we identify the ant species, target the colony at its source, and implement prevention measures to keep them from returning—leaving your home or business ant-free.
Aphids may be small, but they can cause serious damage to your plants and landscaping. These sap-sucking insects weaken plants, stunt growth, and leave behind a sticky residue called honeydew that attracts other pests like ants. At Area Wide Exterminators, we specialize in protecting your garden and ornamentals from aphid infestations. Our eco-friendly treatments target aphids at the source, helping your plants stay healthy, vibrant, and pest-free.
Bed bugs are small, elusive insects that feed on blood, often while you sleep. They hide in mattresses, furniture, baseboards, and even behind wall outlets, making them extremely difficult to find and eliminate without professional help. Bed bug infestations can spread quickly through travel, second-hand furniture, or contact with infested areas. At Area Wide Exterminators, we provide thorough inspections, targeted treatments, and follow-up services to completely remove bed bugs from your home or business. Our proven approach helps you rest easy knowing your property is bed bug-free.
While crickets may seem harmless, their constant chirping can quickly become an unwelcome disturbance—especially at night. In large numbers, they can invade garages, sheds, and even inside your home, damaging fabrics, paper, and other materials. At Area Wide Exterminators, we provide effective cricket control solutions that not only eliminate existing infestations but also help prevent them from returning. Our trained technicians use safe, targeted treatments to keep your property quiet, comfortable, and cricket-free.
Earwigs and snails thrive in damp, shaded areas around your yard and garden, feeding on plants, flowers, and crops. Their activity can leave behind chewed leaves, damaged stems, and an unsightly mess—affecting both the health and beauty of your landscaping. At Area Wide Exterminators, we offer targeted treatments to reduce earwig and snail populations, protect your plants, and prevent these pests from taking over. Our solutions keep your outdoor spaces healthy, attractive, and pest-free.
Fabric pests such as clothes moths and carpet beetles feed on natural fibers like wool, silk, and cotton. They can damage clothing, rugs, upholstery, and other stored fabrics, often going unnoticed until visible holes or fraying appear. These pests thrive in dark, undisturbed areas such as closets, storage boxes, and under furniture.
Fleas and ticks are more than just an itchy annoyance—they can spread diseases and cause serious health concerns for both people and pets. Fleas reproduce quickly, infesting carpets, furniture, and pet bedding, while ticks can carry dangerous illnesses such as Lyme disease and Rocky Mountain spotted fever. At Area Wide Exterminators, we use targeted treatments to eliminate these pests at every life stage and protect your home, yard, and pets year-round.
House flies and horse flies are more than just a nuisance—they can carry bacteria, contaminate food, and make outdoor activities unpleasant. House flies are common in warmer months, often sneaking indoors through open doors and windows in search of food and moisture. Horse flies, typically active in late spring through summer, are larger, aggressive biters that target people and animals, making time spent outdoors uncomfortable. At Area Wide Exterminators, we identify fly breeding sources, treat high-activity areas, and provide preventative measures to keep flies under control. Our seasonal services help protect your home, business, and outdoor spaces from these unwanted pests.
German cockroaches are one of the most common and challenging indoor pests. They multiply quickly, spread bacteria, contaminate food, and can even trigger allergies and asthma. Once inside, they hide in kitchens, bathrooms, and warm, humid areas—making them difficult to eliminate without professional help. At Area Wide Exterminators, we use proven, targeted treatments to break the cockroach life cycle, eliminate infestations, and help prevent their return. Our team ensures your home or business stays clean, healthy, and roach-free.
Pantry pests such as Indian meal moths, flour beetles, and grain weevils infest stored foods like flour, rice, cereal, nuts, and pet food. They contaminate food with larvae and waste, making it inedible and causing frustration for homeowners. These pests often enter through packaged goods or open containers and can spread quickly if not addressed.
Outdoor Roaches
Unwanted Guests Around Your Home
Outdoor roaches, such as American or Oriental cockroaches, thrive in damp, dark areas like gardens, under mulch, and around drains. While they typically live outside, they can wander indoors in search of food and shelter—bringing bacteria and unpleasant odors with them. At Area Wide Exterminators, we provide effective outdoor roach control to reduce their populations and keep them from coming inside. Our targeted treatments protect your home so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces pest-free.
Gophers are destructive underground rodents that tunnel through soil, uproot plants, and damage lawns, gardens, and landscaping. Their extensive burrow systems can kill grass, weaken root structures, and create unsightly mounds across your yard. Left unchecked, gophers can quickly multiply and cause costly damage to both residential and commercial properties. At Area Wide Exterminators, we provide effective gopher control using proven trapping and treatment methods to eliminate activity and protect your landscape from ongoing damage.
Rodents are more than just a nuisance—they contaminate food, damage property, and spread dangerous diseases. Mice are small and curious and can squeeze through holes as tiny as a dime. They reproduce quickly and often nest inside walls, attics, and stored goods. Rats are larger, more cautious, and capable of causing significant structural damage by gnawing on wires, wood, and pipes. They require only a quarter-sized opening to enter and can be aggressive when cornered.
At Area Wide Exterminators, we identify whether your infestation involves mice, rats, or both, and create a targeted treatment plan to remove them quickly and effectively. Our comprehensive approach combines trapping, exclusion work, and prevention strategies to keep rodents from coming back—protecting your health, safety, and property.
While most spiders are harmless, their presence inside your home can be unsettling. Some species, such as black widows pose health risks with their venomous bites. Spiders often enter through small openings and hide in dark, undisturbed areas. At Area Wide Exterminators, we identify the type of spider, treat the infestation, and reduce the insects they feed on to help prevent future issues—keeping your space safe, comfortable, and spider-free.
Termites cause billions of dollars in damage each year, silently feeding on the wood and structure of your home or business. Often, by the time visible signs appear—such as hollow-sounding wood, mud tubes, or discarded wings—the infestation is already well established. In our area, termites can be active year-round, making early detection and treatment critical. At Area Wide Exterminators, we provide thorough inspections, effective treatment options, and preventative solutions to stop termites in their tracks and protect your investment. Our expertise helps ensure your property stays strong, secure, and termite-free.
Wasps can be aggressive defenders of their nests, delivering painful stings that can trigger severe allergic reactions in some people. Two common types found around homes and businesses are paper wasps and mud dauber wasps. Paper wasps build umbrella-shaped nests under eaves, decks, and other sheltered spots and can become territorial if disturbed. Mud dauber wasps, on the other hand, are solitary and generally less aggressive, building tube-like mud nests and rarely stinging unless provoked. While mud daubers pose less of a threat, both species can still be a nuisance—especially if nests are located near high-traffic areas.

At Area Wide Exterminators, we provide safe, professional wasp control—identifying the species, locating and removing nests, treating high-activity areas, and implementing prevention strategies to reduce future infestations. Our team ensures your home and yard are safe, so you can enjoy your outdoor spaces without fear of stings.
Yellow JAckets
Aggressive Seasonal Invaders
Yellow jackets are a type of wasp, but they are far more aggressive and territorial—especially in late summer and early fall when their colonies are at their peak. Unlike other wasps that primarily feed on nectar, yellow jackets are scavengers, often seen hovering around garbage cans, outdoor dining areas, and sugary drinks. They build nests underground, in wall voids, or hidden in landscaping, making them difficult to detect until activity becomes intense. At Area Wide Exterminators, we provide safe and thorough yellow jacket control—locating and eliminating nests, treating problem areas, and helping prevent future infestations. Our seasonal prevention programs ensure you stay protected during their most active months.
Whiteflies are small, winged insects that feed on the underside of plant leaves, sucking out nutrients and weakening plants over time. Their feeding causes yellowing, leaf drop, and stunted growth, while the sticky honeydew they produce can lead to mold growth and attract other pests. Whiteflies thrive in warm weather and are especially common in gardens, greenhouses, and landscaped areas. At Area Wide Exterminators, we use targeted treatments to control whitefly populations and protect your plants from lasting damage. Our preventative services help keep your garden and landscaping healthy, vibrant, and pest-free year-round.
