Tiny Ants. Big Headache.
A few ants on the counter can point to a much bigger problem nearby. Ants are constantly searching for food, water and shelter, slipping through tiny gaps around foundations, windows, doors and utility lines. Once a colony finds a dependable route inside, surface sprays often only treat what you can see.
Mango Mango Pest Pro starts by identifying the ant species, tracking where they’re coming from and looking for the conditions attracting them. From there, we build a targeted treatment plan to address the active colony and help keep ants from making a return trip.
Common Ants in Central Texas
Fire Ants
Fire ants often build colonies in lawns, gardens and other sunny areas around your property. Their mounds can seem to appear overnight, and when disturbed, the colony can quickly become aggressive and deliver painful stings.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants typically nest in damp, damaged or decaying wood. They don’t eat the wood like termites do, but their presence can be a sign of excess moisture or damaged areas that may need attention.
Odorous Ants
These tiny ants often show up around sinks, counters, baseboards and other spots where they can find food or moisture. Because they may establish several nesting sites, treating only the ants you see often isn’t enough to stop them from coming back.
Acrobat Ants
Acrobat ants often nest in damp wood, wall voids and areas near trees or landscaping. They can make their way indoors along branches, utility lines and other routes that lead directly to the structure.

Top Signs You May Have an Ant Problem
Why Do Ants Keep Coming Back?
Store-bought sprays may take care of the ants you can see, but the colony is often still active behind walls, underground or somewhere outside the home. In some cases, disturbing the colony can even cause it to split and spread into new nesting areas.
Mango Mango Pest Pro looks beyond the surface activity to find where ants are coming from and what’s keeping them around. By targeting the source and addressing the conditions attracting them, we can provide a more complete solution designed to help keep them from coming back.
