Odorous House Ant Control Services

Odorous house ants are among the most common ant species invading homes throughout the Pacific Northwest. Named for the unpleasant odor they release when crushed, these small brown ants travel in large numbers along established trails and quickly infest kitchens, bathrooms, and any area where food or moisture is available. At Sunrise Pest and Turf Management, we provide odorous house ant control services that eliminate existing colonies and prevent these persistent insects from returning.

Our control approach uses non repellent products that allow ants to carry treatment back to their nests rather than simply driving them to relocate elsewhere in your home.

Since 1978, we have been protecting homes throughout Bremerton, Bellevue, Seattle, and surrounding communities from odorous house ant infestations.

Identifying Odorous House Ants

Appearance

Small black ants measuring one eighth inch in length. When crushed, they emit a distinctive rotten coconut odor that gives them their name.

Colony Structure

Colonies contain multiple queens and thousands of workers. They establish satellite nests connected to the main colony, making them difficult to eliminate completely.

Behavior Patterns

These ants follow distinct trails between nests and food sources. They prefer sweet foods but will consume almost anything, including other insects.

Nesting Sites

Outdoor colonies nest in soil, under mulch, beneath stones, and inside wall voids. Indoor satellite nests may establish near moisture sources or food storage areas.

Our Odorous House Ant Control Process

1

Trail Identification

We locate active ant trails and identify entry points where ants are accessing your home from outdoor colonies.

2

Non Repellent Treatment

We apply non repellent products that ants cannot detect, allowing them to carry treatment back to their nests and queens.

3

Perimeter Protection

Exterior barrier treatments prevent additional colonies from establishing around your foundation and entering your home.

4

Follow Up Service

We return for follow up visits to monitor activity and retreat as needed until the infestation is completely eliminated.

Why Professional Odorous House Ant Control Matters

  • Use of non repellent products that prevent colony splitting
  • Treatment reaches all connected satellite colonies
  • Elimination of queens to stop reproduction
  • Prevention of reinfestation from outdoor sources
  • Expertise in locating hidden nesting sites
  • Ongoing monitoring until complete elimination

Retail ant sprays often contain repellents that cause odorous house ant colonies to split into multiple smaller colonies, spreading the infestation throughout your home. Professional treatment avoids this problem.
