Ants in the home and even ants outside are an annoyance at best, a major problem at worst. Outside, ants might be enough to give you the heebie-jeebies, but when they find their way into your home, you risk them getting into your food and even biting you and your pets. You can always spray for ants yourself, but is that really going to do the trick? And even if the spray kills the ants on site, will it keep them from coming back?
Albuquerque’s unique climate and environment make it a hotspot for various ant species. Some of the most prevalent include:
Carpenter Ants: Known for excavating wood to build their nests, leading to structural damage over time.
Pavement Ants: Often found nesting under sidewalks and driveways, these ants can infiltrate homes in search of food.
Odorous House Ants: These ants emit a distinct, rotten coconut smell when crushed and are commonly found in kitchens and pantries.
Identifying the specific ant species is crucial for effective treatment, as each has unique behaviors and nesting habits.
Early detection is key to preventing a full-blown infestation. Look out for:
Visible Ant Trails: Lines of ants moving to and from food sources.
Nest Sites: Piles of soil or wood shavings indicating nesting areas.
Rustling Noises: Sounds within walls may suggest carpenter ant activity.
Discarded Wings: Shed wings near windows or doors can signal a nearby colony.

When it comes to ant control in Albuquerque, Hadlow Pest Solutions tracks down ants on your property and destroys them. The most important piece of this process is identifying what type of ant it is to learn its behavior. Then we know if we need to look under rocks, inspect trees, or search for dirt mounds, as different species of ants have different habitats. This is where having a professional pest control company is far superior to handling an ant outbreak yourself.
We have a variety of ants here in New Mexico, including pavement ants, carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and acrobat ants. A trained pest specialist knows the best way to get rid of each type of ant, as they all have different habits and homes.
