Ants

Ants are common in our area so we often have to do battle with them. These household pests belong to the Formicidae family and live in large groups. Typically, ant colonies are built underground. Researchers have identified more than 12,000 species but some believe there could be 14,000 or more. Ants are easy to identify since they have several unique features, including elbowed antennas and a narrow waist. Ants are very successful no matter what they’re doing. Whether they’re searching for food or building nests, they’ll work as a team.

Unfortunately, this makes it difficult to eliminate them. Our company can help because we offer full-scale ant services.

Reasons For Ant Invasions

Are you curious as to why ants have decided to enter your home? Ants tend to build colonies underground with the number of ants ranging from a couple of dozen to thousands of ants. Ants like living outside and prefer being there, but they’ll enter homes to searching for food. They can travel hundreds of feet from their nests to obtain food. They’re diligent so they’re not going to give up easily. Instead, they’ll search long and hard to find a way to enter your home. They’ll use small gaps around doors, windows, and plumbing pipes.

Ant Dangers

Ants aren’t particularly dangerous since they don’t bite or transmit deadly illnesses. Nevertheless, you can’t ignore the risks involved. Ants can indeed contaminate your food products but they won’t spread illnesses. They are a nuisance since you’ll find them crawling on your counters and shelves.
