Common Types of Ants in Southern California
Identifying the most common types of ants in Southern California is the first step to controlling them. Below, we have listed the most common ants in Southern California and what types of issues they can cause if they infest your home or business:
- Argentine Ants – Argentine ants are small, dark brown ants that are native to South America. They are among the most common ants in Southern California and are usually found in gardens and near water sources. They are social insects and are known to form very large colonies that can contain millions of ants. Argentine ants do not sting, but they can become a nuisance as they forage for food.
- Carpenter Ants – Carpenter ants are large, black ants that are often mistaken for termites. They are not as destructive as termites, but they can cause damage to wood structures in your home. Carpenter ants do not eat wood but instead, excavate tunnels for nesting. They prefer to nest in moist or decaying wood and can be found in damp areas, like attics, basements, and crawl spaces.
- Odorous House Ants – Odorous house ants are small, brown ants that emit a strong, sweet odor when crushed. They are common in Southern California and are usually found in kitchens and bathrooms. They are attracted to sugary foods and will often invade homes to forage for sweet treats.
- Fire Ants – Fire ants are small, red ants that are known for their painful stings. They are common in the southern part of the United States, including Southern California. Fire ants are social insects that form large, underground colonies. They are usually found in gardens and can cause damage to plants and flowers.
Signs of Ant Infestations
Some of the most common signs of an ant infestation include:
- Swarms of ants in your home
- "Scout" ants in your kitchen, bathroom, or laundry room
- Ants on your countertops or near food sources
- Ant trails along walls and baseboards
- Ant nests in your yard or around your home's foundation
Keep in mind that ant infestations spread quickly, and DIY ant control methods often fail to eliminate the problem's source. For this reason, it's wise to involve a professional ant control company to help you completely eradicate the infestation.

I have been using Gladiator Pest Control since June 2020, and have not had any problems since. It's a great comfort to my family that we are not bothered by any pests.

Eddie was extremely professional and knowledgeable about the ant problem. He called prior to the set scheduled appointment and arrived early. I would definitely use them again.

Very reasonable and friendly small business. I've been using Gladiator for 4 years and have been very pleased.
Lynda A. -
The techs were super friendly and attentive. They helped with a couple of areas that needed rodent protection even though I had only scheduled ant spraying. Highly recommend!
Amanda W. -
I’ve hired other pest control companies in the past but have not been impressed. Gladiator Pest Control was amazing. He showed up right on time, explained exactly what he was doing, and then got it done.

Had the pleasure of working with Ralph on some rodent problems I was having & he gave me some tips and tricks on how to get rid of them faster.
Marina J. -
Ralph is a lifesaver. I found a mouse in my home and he came right over. He went way above and beyond what I thought anyone would do. I have not had another problem since he came. Thank you so much Ralph!
Jenny R. -
Always kind and helpful when I call. I saw a reduction in pests in and out of the house after only 2-3 months of using the monthly service.
