What They Are
Ants are one of the most common household pests in Lubbock and the surrounding West Texas area. They enter through the smallest cracks in search of food, water, and shelter, and once they find a reliable source inside your home, they recruit the rest of the colony to follow.
Why They're a Problem in Lubbock & West Texas
West Texas heat drives ants indoors, especially during summer months when outdoor temperatures make food and water scarce. Lubbock homeowners commonly deal with common household ants and sugar ants inside kitchens and bathrooms, while larger colonies, including pavement and odorous house ants, can establish themselves in wall voids and under foundations.
Signs of Infestation
- Visible trails along baseboards, countertops, or windowsills
- Ants near food sources, sink areas, or pet food
- Small dirt mounds near the foundation or in the yard
- Ant activity increases after rain or extreme heat
SWAT treats both interior and exterior. Interior treatment targets trails, harborage areas, and entry points. Exterior treatment creates a perimeter barrier at the foundation, doors, and windows, the places ants are most likely trying to get in. Quarterly service keeps the barrier fresh before ants can re-establish.
