Odorous House Ant (OHA)
This is one of the most common ants we have in Nixa. When might you see them? Guess what they are active all year round.
Most people call them sugar ants. These are tiny black ants that you may see in kitchens, bathrooms, outside, or really anywhere. The problem with this species of ant is they have multiple queens and multiple nests.
The Nixa and Fremont areas seem like they were built on a giant OHA hill. We’ve found large nests inside peoples walls and we’ve also seen a small nest in a computer. Control of these ants is very difficult.
Spraying these ants with a repellent insecticide, like you’d buy from the store, will cause these ants to spread to other areas, so instead of killing the ants they just cause them to move to other areas and start new colonies if blocked from their own.
Inside your home ants will nest in the walls of high moisture areas such as kitchens and bathrooms. Does that mean that they won't nest in other parts of your house? Absolutely not. They will go anywhere that they can find a food source. That's why it's important to hire a specialist in ant control that can correctly identify the type of Ant during the inspection and can develop a treatment plan that will eliminate the colony and help to prevent future ant activity. At The Bug Guy Pest Control, we use the absolute best materials available. To gain control of ants, we use specialty products that are non repellant so ants can't detect them. This allows us to get product all the way back to the entire colony including the queen.
If you have ant problems, you need The Bug Guy!
