Ants

What are ants?

Ants are social insects. They live in colonies, usually underground and are very successful because of their ability to work together towards the common goal of caring for their queen. Ant colonies are comprised of at least one queen and her workers. The workers take care of foraging for food to feed the young and the protection of the queen.

Why do I have them?

Most ants prefer to establish their colonies outside, but will forage and nest indoors depending on the species and the availability of food, water and harborage. Whether nesting indoors or outdoors, the ants you see moving about in your home are foragers looking for food.

Are they dangerous?

Ants are considered nuisance pests for the most part. Carpenter ants may cause structural damage.

Can I do it myself?

Trying to get rid of ants yourself can actually make things worse! Most homeowners don’t realize that over-the-counter sprays and repellents can cause a phenomenon called “budding” in which ants separate from their main nest and will actually start new colonies.
