Ants are a problem often this time of year. The summer months bring in lots of different things, but ants are one of the big ones. They love to get inside our houses and feed upon the food that we eat, drink the water that they can find, and just generally take up space. We don’t want them in our homes, we don’t want them in our businesses. We don’t really want them anywhere near us.

Especially when you talk about fire ants, they can bite and it can hurt really badly. So it’s important that we take care of ants as best as we can.

There are many different species of ants that we have in Oklahoma. One particular species that we find inside is the odorous house ant. This ant actually sets up a colony inside your home.

Most other ants live outside and then just travel into your home to pick up food and then bring it back outside. But this ant likes to take up residence within. And it’s kind of a double whammy because if you try to spray it with a typical Raid or other kind of over-the-counter pesticide, you can actually splinter the colony.

This means that when you separate a group of workers from the colony, they will actually become a brand new colony. This is a big problem with this kind of ant, and it’s important that you’re using the right kind of pesticide to take care of it.

That’s why you need to call a good Broken Arrow pest control company like TermMax Pest Control. We can take care of that problem for you.

Outside, as I mentioned, we have fire ants. We actually have two species, an indigenous species and a non-indigenous species. These fire ants hurt bad when they bite you. And if you kick over their mound, you can get close enough that they will crawl up your leg and bite your skin. We have special services at TermMax Pest Control to get rid of those kinds of insects as well.

Pyramid ants are another ant that we find outside. Pavement ants are another. These ants are your typical black ants that are a nuisance and will feed upon the food that you have.
