Why Choose Ant Control for Your Murfreesboro Home?
When you’re considering ant control for your Murfreesboro home, you should be aware of the ecological benefits of ants. Because of their scavenging nature, they’ll serve to remove dead organisms. Additionally, they serve your local eco-system by being a food source for many lizards, anteaters, and other insects.
However, their function in the ecosystem does not mean that these critters belong in or around your home. If you’ve got an ant infestation on your hands, they’re likely to be destructive to your food and other elements of your property. Also, they are capable of introducing diseases and creating health risks for your family.
You Might Have an Ant Problem If:
- There are trails of sawdust inside or around your residential or commercial property
- You notice a hollowness in your wooden beams or floorboards when you knock on them
- You hear the sound of rustling in your walls
- You can visibly see some ants around your home or ant mounds outside
- Trees are dying that have ants living in them
Ant Extermination for Multiple Species
Not every species of ant is dealt with the same way. Because of this, identifying the species of your ant infestation in Murfreesboro is the first step we take. Understanding the specific species differences is very necessary to build the perfect ant control solutions. In the Middle Tennessee area, we commonly encounter these species of ants:
Carpenter Ants
- One node
- Varies in color, from black to brown to red
- No stinger
- 1/4 to 1/2 inch long
- Have large mandibles (jaws/pinchers on the head)
- Found throughout the US
- Will build nests in moist, rotting wood. Can sometimes be found in walls indoors and logs outside.
- Will eat food debris indoors
If you’ve got a carpenter ant infestation on your hands, contact your reliable local experts at GK pest solutions to have your ants gone for good. You might think that carpenter ant control is a good option for DIY pest control, but it’s not worth the risk to you and your family. These insects can actually cause serious damage to your property as they excavate wood to build their nests. Carpenter ants are by far the most consistently harmful if they’re on your property.

Fire Ants
- Two nodes
- Red with a darker reddish-brown abdomen
- Has stinger, very painful sting
- 1/16 – 1/4 inch long
- Found in Southeast and Southwest USA
- Prefer high-protein foods
Fire ants are no joke. These insects are known for their painful stings that leave you with a burning sensation. That’s where the name comes from. For most people, these fire ant bites will just cause some discomfort, but people with fire ant allergies have an entirely different perspective. To those allergic, these insects become VERY dangerous as their fiery bites can cause a life-threatening reaction called anaphylaxis. Getting rid of these insects can be a pretty complicated task as well. Not every treatment that works outside can be used inside as well.
