Odorous house ants are a common nuisance in New Canaan homes, especially in kitchens and pantries where food is stored. These small brown ants get their name from the strong, rotten coconut-like smell they release when crushed. Their attraction to sugary foods makes them a persistent problem, particularly during warmer months when they actively seek out food sources indoors.
Preventing odorous house ants begins with good sanitation. Store food in airtight containers, wipe down counters and floors regularly, and take out the trash frequently. Sealing cracks around doors, windows, and foundation walls can also help block their entry.
While DIY ant baits and home remedies like vinegar may offer temporary relief, these ants often establish large colonies that require targeted treatment. Professional pest control services use advanced baiting techniques to eliminate the entire colony rather than just the visible ants. Our team provides comprehensive ant control solutions to keep your kitchen and home pest-free.
