Frequently Asked Questions — Ant Control in Chapel Hill

The most common pest ants in NC’s Triangle are odorous house ants (small, dark, smell like rotten coconut when crushed), carpenter ants (large, black, damage wood), fire ants (outdoor mound builders, painful stings), pavement ants (small, build nests under slabs and pavement), and Argentine ants (invasive, form large trails). Each requires a different treatment strategy.
Ant colonies overwinter in the soil and surge in activity when soil temperatures rise above 60°F — typically mid-March in the Triangle. Queen ants begin producing workers in volume, and foragers spread out searching for food. The Triangle’s spring rain also disrupts outdoor nests, driving ants indoors. March through June is peak ant season.
The most effective approach combines exterior perimeter spray to block entry with indoor gel bait placed in foraging trails and harboring areas. Over-the-counter repellent sprays actually worsen some infestations by scattering the colony. Professional treatment uses non-repellent chemistry that ants carry back to the nest, eliminating the whole colony rather than just the foragers.
Yes. Fire ants are established throughout Wake County and the Triangle. They build mounds in lawns, along foundations, and under landscaping. Fire ant stings cause a distinctive burning pain and, in sensitive individuals, can trigger allergic reactions. Population pressure has expanded north in recent decades as NC winters have become milder.
Carpenter ants nest in damp or decaying wood — finding and addressing the moisture source is part of the solution. Treatment targets both the satellite colonies inside the structure (usually in wall voids, attics, or window frames) and the parent colony outdoors in a stump or dead tree. Professional treatment using dust insecticides in wall voids is far more effective than surface sprays.
