Odorous House Ants

Odorous House Ants get their name from the distinct, unpleasant smell—often compared to rotten coconut—that they emit when crushed. These small, dark brown or black ants are extremely common invaders that nest both indoors and outdoors, frequently moving their colonies to avoid rain or extreme heat.

They are relentless foragers, constantly searching for sugary foods and moisture inside homes. Because they adapt quickly to their environment and can move their nests rapidly when disturbed, they are incredibly difficult to get rid of using standard household pest control products.

Eastline Pest Management relies on professional-grade baiting systems to handle Odorous House Ants. Our treatments are designed to be shared among the colony, ensuring the complete eradication of the nest rather than just treating the symptoms of the infestation.
