Ant Identification & Prevention
What are ants?
Ants are common insects with thousands of different species around the world. These pests live in large colonies made up of hundreds or thousands of members. Colonies consist of a queen, sometimes multiple, and workers.
Are ants dangerous?
While many ant species are a nuisance, some are dangerous. Below we list some dangerous species:
- Fire ants are an aggressive species that will swarm if threatened or disturbed. Their stings are painful, and their venom can cause allergic reactions. These ants are also invasive, damaging crops and plants and displacing other ant species.
- Carpenter ants are destructive ants known for damaging properties as they tunnel in wood to create galleries and nests.
- Pharaoh ants are common invaders of hospitals where they contaminate IVs and wounds. They are known for spreading pathogens like salmonellosis and streptococcus.
Why do I have an ant problem?
You most likely have an ant problem because there are food and water sources available to them on your property. These sources can include but are not limited to crumbs, residue in cans and jars, and leaks.
Where will I find ants?
Ants can be found in different places depending on the species:
- Fire ants build their mounts in open sunny areas.
- Pavement ants can often congregate in cracks in pavement and concrete.
- Carpenter ants gather around moist and decaying wood.
- Pharaoh ants prefer shaded areas like underneath debris.
