Tiny black ants in your kitchen or bathroom? In Renton, it’s almost always sugar ants also known as odorous house ants. These pests don’t just show up for crumbs. They’re often a sign of hidden moisture and structural access points, especially in older homes or wooded neighborhoods. Without expert treatment, sugar ants quickly form satellite colonies and keep coming back. Why Renton Homes Are Prime Targets for Sugar Ant Infestations Renton’s humid climate, dense tree cover, and proximity to streams and ravines make it an ideal environment for sugar ants. We see major activity near Talbot Hill, Cascade, and the Highlands especially in homes with crawlspaces, outdated plumbing, or poor drainage. Once inside, ants follow plumbing lines, baseboards, and subfloor gaps straight to food and water. How We Treat Sugar Ants in Renton Homes & Businesses DIY sprays often make things worse.
