Quick Answers
What ant is most common in California homes?
The Argentine ant. It forms huge connected colonies and marches inside in long trails, most of all in hot dry spells and after heavy rain.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?
Store sprays kill the ants you see, not the colony. Bait that workers carry back to the nest works better for most kinds.
Are carpenter ants a problem in California?
They can be, mostly in wooded and coastal areas. They tunnel through damp or soft wood. Piles of fine sawdust near trim or a window are a sign.
Does an ant control company need a license in California?
California requires a license from the Structural Pest Control Board for any company that treats pests in or on homes and buildings for pay. Ask for the license number and look it up on the board’s website before work starts.

What to Know Before You Call About Ants
Argentine ants are the usual ones in California homes, with odorous house ants and carpenter ants close behind. The fix depends on which ant it is.
Wipe up the trail with soapy water and keep food sealed. Do not spray a trail you want a pro to bait, since bait needs live ants to carry it home.
For carpenter ants, ask the company to look for the moisture problem that drew them in.
