Ants in Everett And the surrounding areas
Professional Ant Extermination:
Ants are a common sight in Everett and the surrounding areas, thriving in both residential and commercial spaces, and making their way into homes and businesses in search of food and shelter. At Orb Pest Solutions, we understand the challenges ants pose and offer comprehensive pest control services tailored to tackle these persistent invaders. The region's mild climate and abundant natural resources create an ideal environment for various ant species, making effective management essential.
Common Ants We Treat:
Odourous Ants ("sugar ant"): These are the most frequently reported indoor ants in the area. They are attracted to sweets, moisture, and kitchen food sources. Colonies can split into multiple nests, making DIY treatment difficult.
Carpenter Ants: One of the most serious ant problems in the region. Carpenter ants do not eat wood, but they excavate it to build nests. Often causing structural damage in damp or decaying areas suck as crawlspaces, walls, and attics.
Pavement Ants: Typically found nesting under sidewalks, driveways, and foundations. These commonly enter homes through small cracks in search for food.
Moisture Ants: These ants thrive in damp environments and are often a sign of hidden moisture or wood decay issues inside the structure.
Signs you May Have an Ant Infestation:
-Ant trails in kitchen or bathrooms
-Small Piles of sawdust-like debris (carpenter ants)
-Ants appearing near windows or baseboards
-Increased activity after rain or warm weather
-Visible nests in soil, wood, or wall voids
If you notice any of these signs, early treatment is important before colonies expand
