Argentine ant control
Argentine ants (Linepithema humile) are small, light to dark brown ants known for their resilient and invasive nature. Originating from South America, these ants have spread worldwide, becoming a common nuisance in many urban and suburban areas.
appearance and habitat
Argentine ants are relatively small, typically measuring about 1/8 inch in length. Highly social, these ants form expansive colonies with multiple queens, enabling them to establish vast networks and quickly dominate new environments.
These ants prefer moist environments but can adapt to a variety of conditions. They nest in soil, under rocks, rotting wood, in walls and insulation. You’ll often spot them taking up space near food and water sources, making kitchens, bathrooms, and gardens prime locations for infestations.
how Argentine ants
impact your home
Argentine ants enter structures through tiny openings in windows, doors, foundation walls, and around utility lines, pipes, and vents. Once inside, they are attracted to sugary substances and can contaminate stored food in pantries and kitchen cabinets. These ants often nest within walls, insulation, and other hidden areas, complicating their detection and elimination.
Their nesting habits may damage insulation and, in severe cases, electrical wiring. Because they can form large, interconnected colonies, Argentine ants are challenging to eradicate using DIY methods alone.

seasonal behavior of Argentine ants
Argentine ants are most active outdoors during spring and summer, foraging for food and expanding their colonies. As temperatures cool in fall, they may seek shelter indoors. These pests may remain dormant if they dwell outdoors but stay active indoors if suitable food sources are available.
