Types of Ants
GROUND BEETLES
General Info: The ground beetle is the most common beetle in North America. It is found in many types of environments.
- Length: 1/8″ – 1/2″
- Residential Location: They can be found anywhere in or around the home, especially near moisture, heat sources, and plant matter.
- Random/Interesting Fact: There are more species of beetles than any other insect.
- Identification: The beetle is flattened with prominent mandibles (jaws). Many are black or brown, but colors also include blues, greens, and reds.
LITTLE BLACK ANTS
AKA “Sugar Ants”
General Info: Yes, “Little Black Ants” is really the name for these tiny ants. Thay are often mistaken for Pharoah ants, odorous house ants and acrobat ants because they are all strongly attracted to sugar-based foods.
- Length: 1/16″ (1.5-2 mm)
- Residential Location: Frequently seen in the kitchen and dining room areas. Colonies are found around wookwork, cabinet and wall voids. They feed on grease , oil, meats, fruits, vegetables, corn meal and sweets.
- Random/Interesting Fact: Winged reproductibves appear from the months of June to August.
- Identification: Dark brown and black, has antenna and a small stinger.
CARPENTER ANTS
General Info: Carpenter ants get their common name from their habit of hollowing out galleries in wood for nesting. This nesting behavior can lead to significant structural damage in your home. All species of carpenter ants primarily target wood that is or has been wet and damaged by mold. While they initially invade decayed wood, they may soon begin to create paths through dry, undamaged wood. If you suspect a carpenter ant infestation, act quickly to protect your property!
- Length: 3/8″ – 3/4″
- Residential Location: Carpenter ants typically enter buildings through cracks around doors and windows or via holes for wires. They can also crawl along overhead wires, shrubs, or tree limbs that touch the building high above the ground. With foraging capabilities of up to 300 feet, these ants can pose a significant threat to your home. If you notice any signs of them, don’t hesitate to reach out for professional help!
- Random/Interesting Fact:Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not eat the wood they damage; instead, their excavation creates smooth tunnels inside the wood. This distinction makes it crucial to address any signs of these ants before they cause further damage.
- Identification: Carpenter ants are larger than typical ants and lack a stinger. They can be found in black, brown, or red variations. If you identify larger ants in your home, contact us immediately for a comprehensive inspection and effective treatment to safeguard your property!
PAVEMENT ANTS
General Info: Pavement ants are opportunistic feeders and will consume just about anything, including cheese, meat, nuts, bread, seeds, fruit, honey, and other insects. If you notice these pests in your home, take action to protect your food supply!
- Length: 1/16″ – 1/8″
- Residential Location: Most likely to be found in masonry walls, meaning brick or concrete block walls. They can also be found along pavement (surprise, surprise!) insulation, and near stones and rocks.
- Random/Interesting Fact: Pavement Ants are known to climb brick walls in excess of 30′ high in search of food for the colony.
- Identification: Pavement ants can be challenging to identify with the naked eye. If you see small, brown ants near bricks, pavement, or concrete, you may have a pavement ant infestation. Don’t wait—reach out to us today for a professional inspection and treatment to eliminate these pests!
