Ant Identification & Prevention
What are ants?
Ants are insects and easily identified by their three distinct body parts, defined waist, bent legs, and short antennae. Ants live worldwide and are especially prominent in tropical areas. However, many species of ants have discovered the benefits of living with people and have become frequent visitors to our yards, homes, and businesses.
Many ant species invade our Savannah, Georgia properties; partnering with a professional is the best way to identify which of the following are in your yard or home:
- Fire ants
- Carpenter ants
- Pharaoh ants
- Acrobat ants
- Pavement ants
- Harvest ants
Are ants dangerous?
Ants living in our area that invade our indoor and outdoor spaces spread bacteria to surfaces, contaminate food, and are challenging to get rid of. But some ants pose even more significant problems for people and our properties. Carpenter ants cause structural damage, Pharaoh ants spread more than a dozen pathogens that make people ill, and fire ants are aggressive, painfully biting and stinging people and animals.
If ants are nesting on yourGeorgia property or looking for food on your property, it is best to take swift action and partner with a professional to remove them.

Prestige Pest control is a family owned business and we have used their services for a couple years now. They are very thorough and we appreciated that Josh sprayed every corner of our patios. He even asked about problem areas outside.

How Can I Prevent Ants in the Future?
In addition to our home pest control and commercial pest control services, protect your property from ants with the following prevention tips:
- Food attracts ants. Keep indoor and outdoor eating areas organized and free of food debris.
- Pick up your pet’s leftover food. A bowl of pet food is something ants just can’t resist.
- Remove water sources like clogged gutters, low-lying areas, and containers like buckets and bowls.
- Remove overgrown vegetation, fallen trees, and dense vegetation from your yard that could attract ants.
- Reduce moisture around your house by making sure gutters are working and cutting back shrubbery to keep the perimeter of your home as dry as possible.
- Inside, reduce moisture that attracts ants by repairing leaky pipes and using dehumidifiers.
