April Ant Watch in Kansas City
Spotting the Invaders & Choosing a Truly Green Pest Control Solution
What Ants or Active in April
As the weather warms in Kansas City, ants begin to stir. April is when you’re most likely to start seeing ant trails inside and outside your home. Here are the top species to watch for:
Odorous House Ants
These small, dark ants give off a rotten coconut smell when crushed. They love moisture and nest indoors near kitchens and bathrooms.
Pavement Ants
Often found near driveways, sidewalks, and foundations. They’ll enter your home in search of sweet and greasy foods.
Carpenter Ants
Large and destructive, carpenter ants chew through wood to build nests. If you spot wood shavings or hear movement in walls, it’s time to act fast.
Field Ants
These ants nest in soil and mulch but may forage indoors. Active in spring, they’re frequently mistaken for carpenter ants due to their size.
