🐜 Ant Infestations in Prince George’s County? What Bowie, Waldorf & Upper Marlboro Homeowners Need to Know

Ants are one of the most common pest problems in Prince George’s County, MD—and one of the most frustrating to deal with. Whether they’re swarming your kitchen, invading your bathroom, or showing up in your garage or basement, ants are more than a nuisance… they’re a warning sign.
At Senate Termite & Pest Control, we’ve been helping Maryland homeowners eliminate ants and keep them out since 1991. Here's what every homeowner in Bowie, Upper Marlboro, Waldorf, and surrounding PG County should know.
📍 Why Ants Are a Problem in PG County Year-Round
Maryland’s humid summers and dense tree cover create the perfect environment for ants to thrive. In areas like Lake Arbor, Woodmore, and Marlton, ants are drawn to:
- Moisture from leaky pipes or basements
- Sweet foods or crumbs in the kitchen
- Open trash or pet food
- Gaps in siding or foundation
Even clean homes can have infestations—and DIY sprays rarely fix the root problem.
🐜 Common Ant Species in Southern Maryland
- Odorous House Ants – Smell like rotten coconut when crushed
- Carpenter Ants – Tunnel through wood, just like termites
- Pavement Ants – Tiny, sugar-loving ants that swarm in driveways and baseboards
- Pharaoh Ants – Extremely difficult to control without professional help
🚫 Why Store-Bought Ant Traps Don’t Work Long-Term
- They kill visible ants but don’t eliminate the colony
- Most use repellent ingredients that cause ants to split their nests and spread
- They don’t address moisture issues or entry points

💡 Pro Tip:
If you’re seeing ants in the winter, it means the colony is inside your walls—not coming in from outdoors. That’s why year-round protection matters in PG County neighborhoods like Mitchellville, Forestville, and Brandywine.
