Odorous house ants, often called ‘sugar ants,’ are one of those pests that can quickly become a frustrating problem indoors. They often travel in noticeable trails while searching for food and moisture and can nest in wall voids, beneath floors, and other protected areas of your home.

🐜 𝐅𝐮𝐧 𝐅𝐚𝐜𝐭: When crushed, odorous house ants give off a distinct smell often compared to rotten coconut, which is where their name comes from!

Different termite species behave differently, which means the signs they leave behind can look different, too. Some are drawn to damp or decaying wood, while others build colonies in the soil and make their way into structures from underground.

Mud tubes, damaged wood, discarded wings, or other unusual signs around your home could indicate termite activity, but proper identification is an important first step.

Wood-destroying beetles can stay hidden for 𝒎𝒐𝒏𝒕𝒉𝒔 or 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒚𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒔, creating tunnels beneath the surface of wood before you ever notice the signs. Beetle larvae can spend years feeding inside wood.

Keep an eye out for 𝒕𝒊𝒏𝒚 𝒆𝒙𝒊𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒍𝒆𝒔 and 𝒑𝒐𝒘𝒆𝒓𝒅𝒚 or 𝒈𝒓𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒚 𝒇𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒔 —the wood debris and insect droppings left behind—around wooden areas in and around your home.

While exit holes can remain from an old infestation, fresh or recurring frass may be a sign of current beetle activity.

Unlike termites, carpenter ants don’t eat wood but they do tunnel through it to build their nests. Over time, this can weaken wooden structures and lead to costly repairs.

Watch for signs like:
• Large black ants inside your home
• Small piles of sawdust-like wood shavings
• Rustling sounds inside walls
• Winged ants indoors

🌐 Critter Ridders is here to help protect your home!

As temperatures rise, wasps become more active while building nests around homes, garages, decks, sheds, and eaves.

To help reduce your chances of an unwanted nest:
• Inspect your property regularly.
• Keep garbage cans tightly sealed.
• Clean up food and sugary drinks outdoors.
• Seal small gaps where nests may be started.

If you discover a nest, avoid disturbing it. Contact Critter Ridders for safe and effective removal!
