Ants: Tiny Invaders, Big Colonies

Summary: Ants are social insects that live in colonies. They are typically small, with a segmented body and antennae. Common pest species include black ants, pharaoh ants, and carpenter ants.

Habitat: Ants can be found both indoors and outdoors, nesting in soil, wood, walls, and other structures. They are attracted to food sources, particularly sugary substances.

Why They Are Pests: While most ants are primarily a nuisance, some species, like carpenter ants, can damage wood. Ants can contaminate food and some species can deliver painful stings.

Why Use a Professional: : Effective ant control often requires locating and eliminating the colony. Professionals can identify the ant species, track their foraging trails, and use targeted baiting or insecticide treatments to eliminate the entire colony, including the queen.
