Have You Seen Airborne Ants In Minneapolis?
When ants take to the air, it can catch Minneapolis homeowners off guard. These flying ants are usually carpenter ants and are often confused with termites. Their swarms mark the start of new colonies, which can sometimes be located indoors. Moxie attacks the source of ant infestations, including these species:

Carpenter ant
Large, black or reddish ants that nest in wood and can cause structural damage over time.

Odorous house ant
Small, dark ants that invade kitchens and release a rotten fruity scent when crushed.

Pavement ant
Small brown or black ants that nest under sidewalks and sometimes trail along indoor walls.

Helpful FAQs
What Minneapolis neighborhoods do you serve?
Moxie provides expert pest control services to our neighbors in all parts of Minneapolis, including the neighborhoods of Uptown, North Loop, Northeast, Powderhorn, Phillips, Lynnhurst, Seward, Longfellow, Whittier, and Linden Hills.
Are your treatments pet- and kid-friendly?
Yes, we prioritize safety throughout the pest control process and always use treatments that are kid- and pet-friendly. We recommend keeping your children and pets away from treated areas until they have completely dried. This usually takes around 30 minutes for outdoor treatments (depending on the weather), and from 1 to 3 hours indoors (depending on the ventilation in your home.) If you keep pets in fish tanks, terrariums, or bird cages, our Field Experts may walk you through a few additional precautions.
What are the most common pests in Minneapolis?
Mosquitoes are widespread in Minneapolis because the city’s many lakes and waterways provide abundant standing water for breeding. Ants become more active in summer heat, when higher temperatures speed up their foraging. Wasps build nests around homes and outdoor gathering spots during the warmer months. In winter, mice move indoors for food and shelter, while cockroaches and spiders establish themselves in kitchens and basements.
Professional pest control targets these pests at the source and helps keep your home protected year-round.
Do I really need professional pest control, or can I do it myself?
Store-bought products may reduce the pests you see out in the open, but they rarely reach hidden nests, entry points, or the areas where infestations really start. Our Field Experts are trained daily to identify the root of pest problems and use proven treatments to help prevent pests from coming back.
Do you offer mosquito control services in Minneapolis?
Yes, we are happy to help our neighbors with mosquito problems in Minneapolis, where the abundance of lakes creates conditions in which mosquitoes thrive. Our approach to fighting mosquitoes includes fogging treatments and In2Care Stations, which are discreet devices that target mosquitoes in their larval stage. Our Field Experts will service your In2Care Stations every 21 to 30 days to help you enjoy your yard throughout mosquito season.
Voles are tearing up my yard. Can you help?
We’d be happy to help with your vole problem in Minneapolis, where the troublesome rodents routinely frustrate homeowners by destroying grass, gardens, and bark. Our approach to fighting voles includes a careful inspection of yards to spot grass depletion, holes, tunnels, and other signs of vole activity. We then apply granulation and bait stations to help reduce vole populations.
How does the climate in the Upper Midwest affect pest behavior?
Minneapolis experiences a humid continental climate, with warm, humid summers, cold winters, and sharp seasonal shifts, which influence how pests survive and spread. Moist soil and standing water after rains provide mosquitoes with the environment they need to lay their eggs, while ants and other insects are attracted to damp areas that allow them to tunnel through soil. Rodents take advantage of basements, crawl spaces, and other sheltered spots that stay dry and warm during our frigid winters.
Because these weather and environmental factors in Minneapolis support so many different kinds of pest activity, professional pest control is important to manage pest populations in homes and yards.
How do seasonal shifts in Minneapolis affect pest behavior?
Pests in Minneapolis respond to the city’s sharp seasonal changes in many ways. During our hot, humid summers, insects like ants, mosquitoes, and wasps actively forage for food and water, taking advantage of gardens and lawns. As temperatures drop, rodents move indoors seeking warmth and consistent food, while spiders relocate to basements in search of prey. Each species adapts to seasonal changes differently, which is why professional pest control helps homeowners reclaim their spaces and enjoy their homes without uninvited visitors.
Why am I seeing more pests right after my first treatment?
Seeing more pests after the initial treatment is actually a good sign. It shows that the treatment disrupted the pests in your home. After a couple of days, you should notice a significant decline in pest activity. If your pests make a comeback between our scheduled visits, we’ve got you covered: Moxie provides free warranty reservice visits for customers on our year-round plan.
