Sugar Ant service in Charleston

Sugar ants are small, light brown to black ants known for their attraction to sugary substances. They are often found in kitchens and gardens, foraging for food.

The Problem

Sugar ants, also known as Camponotus consobrinus, are a common sight in many households, particularly in warmer climates. These small ants typically measure about 1/8 to 1/4 inch in length and are characterized by their light brown to black coloration. They are particularly attracted to sweet foods, which is why they are often found in kitchens, gardens, and near fruit trees.

While sugar ants do not cause structural damage like some other ant species, their presence can be a nuisance, especially when they invade homes in search of food. They are social insects that live in colonies, and their foraging behavior can lead to large numbers appearing in a short time.

Our Treatment Process

  • Thorough inspection to identify nesting sites and food sources
  • Targeted baiting to eliminate the colony effectively
  • Sanitation recommendations to reduce food availability
  • Ongoing monitoring to ensure sugar ants do not return

Our approach focuses on both immediate treatment and long-term prevention to keep your home free from sugar ants.
