Protecting Homes & Businesses Across the Greater Nashville Area
Ant infestations are one of the most common pest problems for Nashville homeowners and business owners. Our warm Middle Tennessee climate, combined with older home construction and dense urban neighborhoods, creates the perfect environment for ants to thrive. From pavement ants in East Nashville to carpenter ants in Bellevue and Brentwood, these pests can quickly invade kitchens, bathrooms, and workspaces in search of food, water, and shelter.
At DOA Pest Services, our licensed Nashville ant exterminators know the species, habits, and seasonal patterns unique to our region — and we know how to eliminate them fast. We don’t just treat the problem; we help you prevent it from coming back.

Common Ant Species in Nashville
Understanding the type of ant you’re dealing with helps us create the right treatment plan. Some of the most common ants in Davidson and Williamson counties include:
- Carpenter Ants – Can tunnel through wood and cause structural damage. Common in older homes in Germantown and Sylvan Park.
- Odorous House Ants – Small black ants with a distinct odor when crushed. Frequently invade kitchens and pantries.
- Pavement Ants – Nest in driveways, sidewalks, and basement floors.
- Acrobat Ants – Often nest in rotting wood or damp spaces like crawlspaces.
- Fire Ants – Aggressive ants that build large mounds in sunny lawns and parks.
Warning Signs of an Ant Infestation
Watch for these signs that ants may be nesting in or around your property:
- Visible ant trails along baseboards, windows, and countertops.
- Outdoor nests — small mounds of dirt or sand in lawns, gardens, or near foundations.
- Increased activity indoors, especially in kitchens or pantries.
- Winged swarmers indoors, a sign of a mature colony ready to expand.
- Moisture attraction in bathrooms, laundry rooms, and under sinks.
- Damaged wood — a possible indicator of carpenter ants.
