Loudon County House Ants
Odorous house ants, for example, are extremely common in our area. They get their name from a strong, rotten, coconut type of smell they omit when they are crushed. This type of ant eats sweet foods, like melon. The odorous house ant finds its way into your home through wall cracks and exposed soil. These ants can contaminate food and should be treated if found in your home.
What Ants Like
They are also attracted to moisture so it is prudent to eliminate any standing water in or near your home. Because these ants may use tree branches to get into your home you should cut back plants and trees from that are close to your home.
