The Most Common Types Of Ant Infestations

Pharaoh Ants

Light brown or red, the pharaoh ant is very small and often difficult to detect. Nests are usually found in inaccessible areas prone to high moisture levels. Pharaoh ants can spread bacteria to food supplies and normally require professionals' experienced and systematic pest control methods.

Carpenter Ants

Avoiding the food supply and preferring wood instead, carpenter ants look for moist areas and chew away at wood and other structural components, including electrical cables!! Small piles of sawdust almost always indicate the presence of carpenter ants that systematically make their way through a home or business to cause significant damage.

  • Ants leave pheromone trails when foraging for food which allows them to keep track of where they’ve been and ensures that they do not waste time searching the same area.
  • Any visible ant trails can be sprayed with vinegar and water or window cleaner to eliminate pheromone traces which help them organize foraging.
  • Caulk and seal any visible cracks and crevices.
  • An Ant can lift 20 times its body weight, making it a very persistent and determined pest.
