Ant Control Services in Greenwood, SC

Ants are one of the most common pest problems in Greenwood County, and South Carolina's warm, humid climate makes our region especially attractive to several ant species. At The Greenwood Pest Control Team, we specialize in identifying and eliminating ant infestations at their source.

Common Ant Species in Greenwood, SC

Our technicians regularly encounter these ant species in Greenwood and the surrounding Lakelands region:

• Fire Ants – Red imported fire ants are aggressive and deliver painful stings. They build large mounds in lawns and can threaten children and pets.
• Carpenter Ants – These large black ants don't eat wood but tunnel through it, causing structural damage similar to termites.
• Odorous House Ants – Small brown ants that emit a rotten coconut smell when crushed. They invade kitchens searching for sweets.
• Argentine Ants – Form massive colonies and can quickly overrun a property, overwhelming other ant species.
• Pavement Ants – Nest under sidewalks, driveways, and foundations, creating unsightly sand mounds.

Our Ant Control Process

We don't just spray and pray. Our comprehensive ant control approach includes:

• Inspection – We identify the ant species, locate nests, and find entry points into your home.
• Targeted Treatment – Different ants require different approaches. We use baits, perimeter treatments, and direct nest elimination as needed.
• Prevention – We seal entry points and provide recommendations to make your property less attractive to ants.
• Follow-Up – We monitor results and retreat if necessary to ensure complete elimination.

Fire Ant Control in Greenwood County

Fire ants are a particular concern in South Carolina. A single colony can contain hundreds of thousands of ants, and their stings can cause serious allergic reactions. Our fire ant treatments target mounds directly while creating a barrier to prevent new colonies from establishing.
