Book a Free InspectionManitoba has more than 50 ant species, but these seven account for virtually every pest-control call we take. Accurate ID drives the right treatment — from carpenter ant wood damage to pharaoh ant colony budding.
Largest common ant in Manitoba. Black or black-and-red workers tunnel through damp, decaying wood, causing structural damage as they excavate nesting galleries.
Small brown-to-black ants that nest under urban hardscapes and enter homes through hairline cracks while searching for food.
Tiny yellowish ants that thrive indoors year-round. Disturbed colonies split and re-establish, so repellents can make the infestation worse.
Very small dark ants that give off a rotten-coconut odour when crushed. They frequently invade Winnipeg kitchens and food-storage areas.
Yellow ants found in lawns and around foundations. They produce a lemon-like smell when crushed and persist in favourable yard conditions.
Common across Manitoba yards, parks and rural properties. Field ants build visible soil mounds and defend their nests aggressively.
Extremely tiny ants that nest close to other colonies and steal food and brood. They are often mistaken for pharaoh ants.
If you are seeing any of these warning signs, grocery-store sprays will usually make the ant infestation worse — they kill workers but leave the queen alive.

Winnipeg's freeze-thaw cycle stresses foundations and siding. Carpenter ants exploit damp wood around windows and attached garages, while older bungalows develop seasonal cracks that become highways for pavement-ant colonies.
Summer humidity wakes everything up. By July, sugar-ant kitchen invasions rise across Charleswood, Transcona, Headingley and St. James.
Ant extermination kills the colony. These habits stop the next one moving in across a Manitoba season.
Wipe counters and floors with vinegar-water after meals — removes pheromone trails.
Store sugar, honey, and pet food in sealed containers.
Fix dripping taps and damp basement corners — moisture invites carpenter ants.
Trim tree branches away from siding and roofline — they're ant highways.
Move firewood and mulch at least 2 m from the foundation.
Re-caulk gaps around windows, doors, and dryer vents each spring.FAQ
