Odorous House Ants are remarkably resilient, thriving both outdoors and indoors. Adapted to withstand extreme temperatures, these ants typically make shallow nests under boards and stones. Despite their survival skills, they prefer warm, moist indoor spaces such as kitchens, bathrooms, utility closets, laundry rooms, and basements with sump pumps. Their preference for these environments makes them the most common ant found in homes across Missouri.
Once established, these ants usually nest within exterior walls near water sources. From there, the colony spreads throughout the house, foraging for sugary foods to bring back to the nest. Their colonies can quickly infest large areas of wall space, often necessitating multiple specialized pest control treatments for complete elimination.

Pavement Ants are highly territorial insects, often seen battling competing colonies on sidewalks and other paved surfaces, leaving behind piles of hundreds of dead ants. One of their most recognizable signs is the small, crater-like hills of sand around their nest entrances.
While they prefer the outdoors, Pavement Ants are opportunistic and may invade homes to forage for protein, sugar, and starch-rich foods. Once they find these resources, they lay down scent trails to summon the rest of the colony, quickly transporting the food back to their nest.

Pharaoh Ants waste no time establishing multiple colonies once inside a structure. Large colonies can produce dozens, if not hundreds, of reproductive females, spreading rapidly throughout the building.
Easily identifiable by their orange-yellow coloration, Pharaoh Ants prefer warm, moist indoor environments and rarely nest outdoors. They exhibit peculiar nesting habits, creating nests between stationery and even between layers of bedsheets. These persistent pests are attracted to grease, meats, insects, and sweets, and are notorious for infiltrating refrigerators, pantries, bags, boxes, and waste bins.
Pharaoh Ants don’t just infest homes; they also invade office buildings, factories, bakeries, restaurants, and hospitals. This is particularly dangerous for immune-compromised individuals, as Pharaoh Ants can carry pathogens such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Salmonella.

Carpenter Ants are more than just a nuisance; they can cause significant structural damage to your home. Known for their ability to burrow into wood, these ants create extensive networks of tunnels, compromising the integrity of wooden structures.
Carpenter Ants are identifiable by their large size and black or red coloration. Unlike termites, they do not eat wood but excavate it to create nests, preferring moist, decaying wood. This means they often target areas of your home such as:
These ants forage for food, primarily sugary substances and proteins, and can travel considerable distances from their nests. If you spot sawdust-like material near wooden structures or see large, winged ants indoors, it’s a sign you may have a Carpenter Ant infestation.
