Once an ant colony has been established, it might be tough to get rid of them. If ants are frequently detected in your home or there are indicators of a nearby colony, managing and eliminating infestations is vital.

What Types of Ants Do You Need to Be Cautious of In Surrey?
 

It’s critical to identify the species of ant you’re dealing with before attempting to eradicate it.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants prefer to eat fungus-softened wood, and they’re typically linked to moisture issues, so keep an eye out for excess moisture and soft, decaying wood around the house.

The emergence of small openings on the surface of wood is the sole external evidence of a carpenter ant infestation. The ants use them to discharge trash, which includes insulation fragments, sawdust-like shavings, and insect body parts. The collection of material behind the holes is a sure sign of an ongoing infestation.

Argentine Ants

Argentine ants are a pest that will contaminate your food or your pet’s food. They like sugary or greasy foods but will eat meat, eggs, and even other insects if given the opportunity.

Multiple queens in Argentine ant colonies can lay up to 60 eggs each day, and unlike other queens, they leave the nest to start new colonies.

Argentine ant colonies, unlike other ant species, are closely connected and can share workers, with smaller colonies combining to become huge supercolonies.

All of this provides Argentine ants the capacity to withstand traditional pesticides and household cures, so it’s critical to get expert help as soon as possible to avoid an infestation.

Pavement Ants

Pavement ants build their nests in the open under flat stones, pavements, concrete slabs, and curbing. They break into houses and businesses in quest of food, and they’re especially bad in regions where slab-on concrete construction is common. Sweet solutions and dead insects make up the majority of a pavement ant’s diet. Male ants have a lifespan of only a few months, whereas worker pavement ants have a lifespan of up to five years.

Pavement ants nest in walls, insulation, and flooring after invading indoor areas and finding their way to heat sources throughout the winter. Pavement ants are most active in the summer months of June and July. Pavement ants carry bacteria and can infect both human and pet food, so it’s critical to get rid of them as soon as you notice an infestation.

A professional pest control agency such as Mega Pest Control will be able to properly deal with a thief ant infestation by following the ants’ tracks back to their nesting site and treating the nest correctly, so don’t hesitate to Call for Free Estimates!

Pharaoh Ants

Pharaoh ants are one of the most abundant ant species on the planet. They can quickly infiltrate any structure, including commercial buildings, hospitals, and even your local grocery store.

They come in a variety of colors, ranging from light tan to reddish-brown. They are prolific breeders, especially when there are multiple queens in a colony. One of the most common challenges found while attempting to eradicate this insect is their satellite nests.

They eat sweet foods like other ant species; however, they aren’t picky about what they eat and will eat anything that is available.

Getting rid of Pharaoh ants can be a time-consuming and frustrating process. You may witness a line of them trundling back and forth from a food source to the nest because they leave pheromone trails that are invisible to the human eye. Keep an eye out for these and make a note of where they’re going and where they’re coming from. Because colonies may quickly divide, you may find yourself with more than one nest, so be vigilant.

Fire Ant

Fire ants dwell in mounds of mud and leaf litter, and they build their nests in damp, sunny locations, such as lawns, parks, fields, and meadows. They can colonize practically any type of soil and nest in rotting stumps and logs, as well as around tree bases.

Fire ants are attracted to the garbage and litter left by humans, and they may penetrate homes in search of food and water. They may also make nests around the base of a structure.

Foragers, fire ants will devour almost anything that contains a protein source. Dead insects, grasshoppers, fly larvae, caterpillars, different ant species, and moths are all examples.

They are, nevertheless, aggressive, attacking and eating small, ground-dwelling animals, as well as freshly hatched lizards, snakes, turtles, quails, chickens, and songbirds. Calves and deer fawns have died as a result of the ants’ attacks.

Odorous House Ant

With their excretion, odorous ants can contaminate human and pet food and their odor can be a source of discomfort. In addition, the fragrance trails they leave behind in cupboards, sinks, and appliances might attract other pests to the region.

They are difficult to eradicate. Up to 100,000 workers can be found in a healthy colony. With multiple satellite colonies positioned adjacent to one main colony, a supercolony gets even larger.

Because odorous ants can spawn numerous times during the year, infestations can quickly become out of hand. Our professional pest control services are essential for truly preventing an odorous ant infestation; Call for Free Estimates.
