Allentown Pest Solutions provides fast, thorough ant control for homes and businesses across Allentown, PA, from the row homes of Center City to the older properties in the West End and the newer developments near South Mountain.
About ant problems in Allentown
Allentown's mix of aging housing stock, damp basements, and shaded, tree-lined lots gives ants exactly what they want: moisture, food, and easy ways inside. Ant activity in Allentown typically ramps up in spring and peaks through the humid Allentown summer, when colonies send out foragers in search of food and water inside your home.
Common ant species in Allentown
- Odorous house ants: tiny, dark, and the most common kitchen invader in Allentown homes.
- Carpenter ants: larger ants that tunnel into damp or damaged wood and can cause structural damage over time, a real concern in older Allentown houses.
- Pavement ants: often seen along driveways, patios, and foundation cracks.
- Pharaoh ants: small and persistent, especially troublesome in multi-unit and commercial buildings.

Ant control FAQ
How do I get rid of ants in my Allentown kitchen?
Store-bought sprays kill the ants you see but leave the colony intact. We trace the trail back to the nest and treat the source so the problem actually ends.
Are carpenter ants dangerous to my home?
They don't eat wood like termites, but carpenter ants tunnel through it to nest, and in Allentown's older homes that can mean real damage if left alone.
