COMMON ANTS FOUND IN HOMES
Solutions For All Types Of Ant Issues
At Pest Assassins, we understand that ants can quickly become a nuisance in both residential and commercial spaces. Our expert team is equipped with advanced strategies and products tailored to effectively eliminate ant infestations while preventing future occurrences.
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants can pose a significant threat to both residential and commercial properties, making them a pest you don't want to overlook. Unlike termites, carpenter ants do not consume wood; instead, they excavate it to create nests. This behavior can lead to substantial structural damage if not addressed promptly.
Carpenter ants are typically large, ranging from 1/4 to 1/2 inch in size, and are usually black or bicolored. Look for the following signs to determine if these pests are invading your space:
- Frass: This is a mixture of wood particles, dead ants, and feces that may accumulate around their nesting sites.
- Sound: Listen for faint rustling noises coming from wooden structures, especially at night when the ants are most active.
- Trailing Ants: Large trails of ants can often be seen moving to and from a food source.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants, scientifically known as *Tetramorium caespitum*, are small but tenacious pests commonly found in urban environments. Recognizable by their dark brown to black coloration and characteristic segmented bodies, these ants typically measure between 2.5 to 4 mm in length. Pavement ants thrive in cracks and crevices in pavement, sidewalks, and building foundations, making them a common nuisance for both residential and commercial properties.
Pavement ants are primarily nocturnal foragers, which means they often scavenge for food during the night. Their diet is omnivorous, consisting of various food items, including protein sources like dead insects and sugary substances such as honeydew and other plant excretions.
These ants create extensive colonies that can lead to significant infestations. Their nests can be identifiable by small mounds of dirt or debris near cracks in pavement.
