How We Address Ant Invasions
At Truckee Meadows Pest Control, we have seen and addressed ant infestations of all shapes and sizes. Through our extensive experience, we can confidently handle any ant species your home may be plagued with. We conduct thorough inspections to identify the exact species present, then use our knowledge of their habits and tendencies to formulate an effective control plan which can consist of baits, insecticide concentrates, and barrier treatments. If there are mounds present, we can drench them with our selected insecticide and strategically apply them so it reaches all the way to the queen of the colony, significantly impacting the entire population. We’ll even conduct a preventative treatment to reduce the chances of re-infestation.
When all is said and done, you can rest assured that your ant problems will be a thing of the past. So what are you waiting for? It all starts by reaching out to us for a free no-obligation estimate.

Common Ants
That Invade Reno Households
Ants are closely related to bees and wasps. They are social insects that live in colonies that have various specialized groups. Most ants in a colony are workers and do most of the foraging for food, raise the young, and defend the colony. Ants have three body segments head, thorax, and abdomen with a pinched waist. Most ants are identified by the type of antennae (elbowed or clubbed) and by the number of nodes in between the abdomen and thorax. Reproductive ants are winged and are often mistaken as termites. To be able to tell the difference, termites have two body segments and the same size pair of wings vs. ants having three body segments and forewings larger than their hind wings.
Common Ant Species in Your Home and How to Identify Them
- Carpenter Ants: Identifying and Understanding Their Habits – The carpenter ant is polymorphic meaning that there can be more than one size ant in the colony ranging from 1/8” to 1/2” with the queen up to 5/8”. Identified by having one node in between the thorax and abdomen and elbowed 12 segmented antennae without a club. They do not sting but their powerful jaws can produce a painful pinch. Carpenter ants attack wood that has high moisture content. They do not consume wood but cut galleries that leave behind sawdust-like shavings.
