Ants
Common Signs of Ants in Mt. Juliet
Ants come in a large variety. The most common kinds of ants you’ll see around your home are:
· Ants find their way in through any open, unsealed space. This includes cracks in the wood and gaps in the window or old weather stripping. Once inside, they hunt for food and moisture. That’s why you’ll see them most often in your kitchen and bathroom.
· While most of these ants are harmless, Carpenter ants infestations can pose a serious threat to your property, because they tunnel their way through wood, causing damage to your home.
· Ant Behavior is a fascinating, complicated subject. They are social creatures that work together to gather food and care for their young. There are several kinds of ants in each colony. Queens have wings that allow them to fly and start a new colony. Once there they rip off their wings and mate, and begin raising their first working ants. They spend the rest of their lives laying eggs to build the colony.
· Workers are females who are wingless and do not reproduce. Their job is to build the nest, gather food and take care of the young. Males have wings that allow them to find a queen to mate with. They mate and die, doing very little work in their lives. If a colony lives in your home they can be quite disruptive and should be exterminated quickly.

Ant Trails
Ant trails are well-defined paths or routes that ants create and use to navigate between their nest and food sources. These trails serve as communication highways for ants, allowing them to efficiently locate and transport food back to their colony. Ant trails are a key part of the ants’ foraging and food-sharing behaviors
Piles of Ants
A large pile or groups of ants in your home or right outside your home.
Ant Hills
Ant hills, also known as ant mounds or ant nests, are the above-ground structures created by certain species of ants as part of their nesting behavior. These structures serve as homes and colonies for ant populations.
A. What types of ants are most common in Mt. Juliet, TN?
The most common ants we see in Mt. Juliet homes are odorous house ants, carpenter ants, pavement ants, and fire ants. Carpenter ants are often the most damaging because they tunnel through wet or rotting wood, while odorous house ants are the ones you’ll usually find trailing across kitchen counters.
A. Why am I seeing ants in my house during the winter?
In Mt. Juliet, ants often nest inside wall voids, attics, and crawlspaces, where temperatures stay warm enough to remain active year-round. Winter sightings usually mean the colony is already inside the home, not outdoors, which requires professional treatment.
A. Can I get rid of ants myself?
Baits from the store may kill some workers but rarely eliminate the colony, especially with carpenter ants or multiple queen species like odorous house ants. Professional treatments target the entire colony, not just the ants you can see.
