Ants and Crawling Pests: Why Evans Pest Control is Your Best Defense

At Evans Pest Control, we know ants and other crawling pests inside and out—literally. Our technicians are trained to identify the exact species invading your home or business, because not all ants are created equal. The difference between a Carpenter Ant, an Odorous House Ant, or a Pharaoh’s Ant is more than just size and color—it’s about nesting habits, diet, and control strategies.

Understanding Ants

Ants fall into two broad categories: one-node ants and two-node ants—named for the segments connecting their thorax and abdomen. For example:

• One-node ants include species like the Argentine Ant, Ghost Ant, and Crazy Ant, often known for large colonies and rapid spread.

• Two-node ants include the Red Imported Fire Ant and the Big-Headed Ant, notorious for aggressive behavior or extensive underground networks.

Knowing the species matters because each requires a unique treatment plan. Carpenter Ants, for example, may nest in wood and cause structural damage, while Odorous House Ants invade kitchens in search of sweets.

More Than Just Ants

While ants may be the most noticeable invaders, Evans Pest Control also specializes in controlling a wide range of crawling pests, including spiders, cockroaches, centipedes, and beetles. Each pest has its own biology and behavior—and our approach is tailored for maximum effectiveness and long-term prevention.
