Sugar Ant Control in Brevard County, FL

Sugar ants are a generic term used for pretty much any type of ant that is attracted to sweet things (which is most!). These types of ants are usually found in kitchens because that's where food sources tend to be. They are attracted to most things that are sweet and sticky -- aside from sugar itself, they are attracted to honey, maple syrup, jams, jellies, preserves, etc. They are attracted to even the littlest bit of grease and sludge leftover on counters and floors, making infestations a common occurrence for many homeowners.

Where Do Sugar Ants Come From?

Sugar ants have strong odor receptors -- about 5x more than other insects -- meaning they can identify food sources easier and faster. If they smell food near your home, they will follow that scent trail and then enter your home through small cracks and crevices. Once the ant actually identifies a viable food source, they produce scented chemicals known as pheromones. Ants use pheromones to communicate with their colony -- essentially, pheromones are a scent trail used for other ants to follow. This is why a few ants in your home can quickly turn into hundreds!

How To Get Rid of Sugar Ants

Ants are notoriously hard to get rid of because you have to locate the source of the infestation to eliminate the entire colony. Many times, people just buy over-the-counter ant sprays and spray the ants themselves -- but that doesn't eliminate the entire colony and it certainly doesn't stop more ants from coming back.

The most obvious thing to do when you want to get rid of a sugar ant infestation is to thoroughly clean the area where the ants are located so you eliminate their food source. Do a deep cleaning and get rid of all crumbs, grease, and grime. You'll also want to clean out your garbage cans and make sure there is nothing in there that could be attracting the ants. Once you do this, you'll also want to seal up all cracks and crevices where ants could be getting in.

Your best bet at getting rid of sugar ants is to let a pest professional handle it.
