Ants in northern Nevada
When the high-desert heat sets in, ants march indoors looking for water and food, which is why Reno and Sparks kitchens light up with trails every spring and summer. The valley sees pavement ants along driveways and foundations, odorous house ants around sinks and pantries, and destructive carpenter ants where homes back up to older trees or damp wood. Spraying the ones you see rarely works; the colony keeps producing more.
Why it matters
Most valley ants are a nuisance and can contaminate food, but carpenter ants tunnel through structural wood and can cause real damage if they're left alone for a season or two.
The fix
Ant Control
Ants are covered by our ant control service. Targeted treatments that wipe out the colony at the source, not just the scouts you see.
