We at Cascade Pest Control get many calls for “black ants.” People are frustrated and want their black ants removed, exterminated. Problem is, there are at least two main types of black ant pests that require professional ant control measures.
What Types of Black Ants are in the Seattle Area?
Both ‘odorous house ants,’ and carpenter ants are extremely successful ant pests in the greater Seattle-Tacoma / Puget Sound area. Both ant species are found from Olympia to Bremerton and Bainbridge, and from Auburn to Bellevue and Bellingham… and all points between.
Carpenter ants and odorous house ants are native to the region.
The accompanying video shows odorous house ants being identified.
