​​What Types of Ants Live in Idaho?​
​
Most homes in the Treasure Valley will see ant activity at some point, especially during the warmer months. Some ants are just a nuisance—others can cause real damage. The most common types we deal with in the region include:
-
Pavement Ants – Often found along driveways, sidewalks, and basement floors
-
Carpenter Ants – Nest inside wood and can weaken structures over time
-
Odorous House Ants – Small black ants known for invading kitchens and pantries
-
Red Ants – Can bite or sting, often nesting near yards or foundation walls
Knowing the type of ant helps us design the best strategy for keeping them out for good.

Why Are Ants in My Home?
​
Ants enter homes looking for food, water, or shelter—especially during dry summers or wet spring seasons in areas like Nampa, Kuna, and Eagle. Once they discover a reliable food source, they don’t travel alone.
Common attractants include:
-
Pet food bowls
-
Open trash or recycling bins
-
Leaky pipes and moisture-prone areas
-
Crumbs in kitchen cabinets or floors
-
Overripe fruit or uncovered pantry items
