Ants are the pest we hear about most across the Sacramento Valley and the North State. Hot, dry summers send trails indoors looking for water, and the first fall rains can push whole colonies inside almost overnight. Kitchens, bathrooms and pet bowls are the usual targets.
Not every ant behaves the same way. Argentine and odorous house ants build large colonies with many nesting sites, so spraying the ants you can see rarely solves the problem, while carpenter ants can damage wood. Use the guides below to identify the ants around your home, and call Big Time Pest Control, local since 2001, when the trails keep coming back.

Jamie from Big Time Pest Control is the "BEST!" He calls to let me know he is on his way. He listens to any bug/rodent concerns I have, then does a very thorough treatment of my entire property! Thank you Jamie and Big Time for training your team in such a thorough manner!

Matt is always very thorough and willing to answer questions. He’s also the first person our dog is willing to take treats from. My dog likes you, and you get rid of my ants—that’s a win-win in my book. Thanks, Matt!
