What Pest do I Have?

• Color: Reddish-brown
• Size: Small and all one size (monomorphic)
• Identifying Feature: The abdomen (butt end) is heart-shaped and often lifted up when disturbed—hence the name “acrobat”
• Where You’ll Find Them: Inside wall voids, around electrical outlets, in insulation, and outdoors under stones or wood—often following old carpenter ant or termite damage
• Why They’re a Problem:Acrobat ants don’t sting, but they can bite. They’re also known to nest in moisture-damaged wood or insulation and can short out electrical equipment by chewing on wiring. Indoors, they trail for sweets and proteins, and their sudden appearance can signal bigger moisture issues.

Effective treatments to eliminate nests and prevent return activity:

• General Pest Control (GPC)
• One-Time Treatments

Recommended Service:

• Best choice: General Pest Control (GPC) for ongoing management and exclusion

• Color: Black or dark brown (uniform in color)
• Size: Very small—about the size of a grain of salt (monomorphic)
• Where You’ll Find Them: Often seen trailing along walls, counters, or in bathrooms and kitchens—especially where sweets or moisture are present
• Why They’re a Problem: Rover ants are tiny but can show up in big numbers. They don’t sting or bite, but they can be incredibly persistent once inside. Their small size lets them sneak into homes easily, and they tend to stick close to water and sugary food sources.

• Color: Reddish and black (two distinct colors)
• Size: Large—up to 1/2 inch; multiple sizes in a colony (polymorphic)
• Identifying Features: Noticeably large ants with visible mandibles (jaws), often seen foraging alone or in small numbers
• Where You’ll Find Them: Around wood structures, windows, doors, decks, and sometimes indoors—especially where there’s moisture
• Why They’re a Problem: Carpenter ants don’t eat wood, but they chew through it to build nests, which can weaken structures over time. They can be especially destructive if they establish a colony inside your home.

• Where You’ll Find Them: Basements, bathrooms, crawl spaces, utility rooms, and drains—especially in humid or damp areas
• Why They’re a Problem: These roaches are big, fast, and not afraid to make surprise appearances. They can contaminate food and surfaces with bacteria, and their presence can trigger allergies or asthma—especially in children.
