Common Ant Species We Address
The Tri-Cities area hosts a variety of ant species, each with distinct behaviors and potential to cause problems. Identifying the specific type of ant is the first step toward effective control, as treatment methods vary depending on the species. Our team understands the ant populations common to our community and is equipped to manage them.
Among the most frequently encountered are odorous house ants, which release a strong, unpleasant smell when crushed, and pavement ants, known for nesting in driveway and sidewalk cracks before making their way indoors.
One of the more serious concerns is the carpenter ant. Unlike other species that are mostly a nuisance, carpenter ants can damage your home by excavating wood to build their nests. Prompt action is key to protecting your property from structural harm.
No matter which species you’re dealing with, we have the experience to identify it accurately and carry out a plan to eliminate the colony altogether.

Preventing Ant Infestations
The most effective way to deal with ants is to keep them from entering your home in the first place. At Proterra Pest Control, we use a proactive approach that focuses on long-term prevention. While we are happy to get rid of the issue, there are steps you can take to keep it from returning.
Here are a few practical steps you can take to make your home less inviting to ants:
- Seal entry points: Check your foundation, windows, and doors for small cracks or gaps, and close them with caulk.
- Keep things clean: Wipe up spills and crumbs immediately, sweep and vacuum regularly, and avoid leaving dirty dishes in the sink.
- Store food securely: Use airtight containers for food, especially sweet or greasy items. Don’t forget pet food!
- Control moisture: Repair leaky pipes and faucets quickly. Good airflow in bathrooms and crawl spaces also helps reduce damp areas that attract ants.
- Maintain your yard: Trim back tree branches and shrubs that touch the house, as ants often use them to gain access.
