Understanding Ant Problems & Why You Need Professional Control

Ants are among the most common pests in homes and yards across Archdale, Greensboro, High Point, Winston-Salem, Thomasville, Asheboro, and Lexington, NC. While some ants are merely a nuisance, others can pose serious health risks or cause structural damage. Knowing how to identify different ant species and understanding their behavior is key to effective control.

If left untreated, a carpenter ant colony can cause serious structural damage to your home or business.

At Enfocus Pest Prevention, we specialize in identifying, treating, and eliminating ants with targeted solutions that address the infestation at its source.

Odorous House Ants

Odorous house ants are small, dark brown to black ants often seen trailing inside homes, especially in kitchens, bathrooms, and near moisture. They emit a strong rotten coconut smell when crushed and build large colonies attracted to water leaks and sweet foods. Though they don’t damage structures, they contaminate food and surfaces, spreading bacteria. DIY treatments often fail to eliminate them completely.

Fire Ants

Fire ants are aggressive outdoor pests that build dome-shaped mounds in lawns and gardens. Their painful stings can cause serious allergic reactions, especially in children and pets. These ants aggressively defend their nests and can quickly re-infest treated areas, requiring professional-grade treatment to fully eliminate.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are large black or reddish ants that hollow out wood to build nests, causing structural damage. They prefer moist or decaying wood and often enter homes through leaks or damp areas. Carpenter ants are most active at night and can sometimes be heard inside walls.

Common Signs of an Ant Infestation

What to Watch for:

  • Seeing ants trailing inside your home, especially near kitchens, bathrooms, or windows
  • Finding unusual dirt or soil mounds in your yard or near your foundation
  • Noticing a strong, unpleasant odor when ants are crushed
  • Discovering sawdust-like debris or hearing rustling noises inside walls or wooden structures
  • Experiencing repeated ant activity despite using DIY 

If you notice any of these, don’t wait. Call Enfocus Pest Prevention at 336-431-0123 to schedule your inspection.

Our Ant Control Process

Our treatments are designed to eliminate the colony—not just the ants you see. We get to the heart of the nest, often located inside your walls, roof, or crawl space.

Step 1 – Detailed Inspection

We identify nesting sites, moisture sources, and entry points. Ants prefer damp or decaying wood, so our team examines crawl spaces, attic beams, soffits, and more.

Step 2 – Targeted Treatment

We apply professional-grade ant control products, including:

  • Non-repellent sprays
  • Gel and bait placements
  • Perimeter and wall void treatments
  • Moisture control recommendations

Step 3 – Long-Term Prevention

We help seal cracks, reduce moisture, and eliminate nesting conditions. Prevention is key—and we make sure your home stays protected.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ants

  • Are Ants Dangerous to Humans?

    They don’t bite unless provoked, and they’re not venomous—but their damage to your home can be extensive and expensive.

  • How Are Ants Different From Termites?

    Termites eat wood, while carpenter ants chew through it to build nests. Both cause structural damage, but treatments differ—that’s why professional identification is important.

  • How Soon Will I See Results After Treatment?

    Many ants will die off quickly, but total colony elimination can take a few days to a few weeks depending on the size and nesting sites. We offer follow-up options to ensure success.
