Common Ant Species Invading Tucson Homes

Tucson is home to a wide range of ant species, and several of them can be serious nuisances around your home and yard. Knowing which one you're up against makes a significant difference in how we treat it.

The ant species we handle most frequently include:

• Argentine ants – Small, light to dark brown ants known for forming massive colonies. They march in long, visible trails and tend to move indoors when searching for food and water, making them one of the most persistent household invaders in this area.
• Fire ants – Three main fire ant types show up in the Tucson area: the Southern fire ant, the Desert fire ant, and Solenopsis amblychila. All three build mounds in open, sunny areas and respond aggressively when disturbed. Their stings are painful and can cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
• Harvester ants – Reddish-brown and larger than most species, harvester ants build visible mounds and strip vegetation from the surrounding area. Their mounds can be significant in size and are a common eyesore in desert yards.
• Carpenter ants – Larger black or red-black ants that nest inside wood. They hollow out wood to build galleries, causing structural damage over time if left untreated.
• Pavement ants – Small brown to black ants that nest under driveways, sidewalks, and foundations. They push up small mounds of displaced soil and frequently find their way inside through cracks in slabs and entry points along the perimeter.
• Odorous house ants – Named for the rotten smell they emit when crushed, these dark brown ants are persistent indoor invaders. Colonies are large and can be difficult to eliminate without treating the nest directly.

Each of these species requires a different approach. WeedCo identifies what's on your property, then applies the right treatment to clear the colony rather than just the ants you can see on the surface.
