Why Do I Have Argentine Ants?

Argentine ants, or "Black ant," can be found throughout southern California. This non-native species of ant forms large colonies that do not compete with one another, allowing them to take over your property in large numbers. Black ants enter homes in southern California in search of shelter from the weather or to find new sources of food or water. In the hot summer months when ant infestations are the most common, Argentine ants typically enter the home in search of water sources. This is the reason ants are commonly found in dishwashers, sinks, showers, and around toilets. After finding water, the ants spread out and search for sources of food for the colony. Leaving food containers open and out can lead to a black ant infestation. Make sure leftovers are thrown away ,and excess food is picked up off the floor and counters. It is important to stop ants before they establish trails inside your home because they are much more difficult to control once they have established themselves.
