What You Need To Know About These Little Ant Creatures

Ants Are Highly Social Creatures

The most important thing to know about ants is that they are highly social creatures. This means that they live in huge colonies that can number millions depending on the species. If you see one ant, then it is most likely to have more nearby. In fact, ants communicate with one another through scents and if one finds a food or water source in your home, it will signal to the others that they hit the jackpot.

Ants Eat A Wide Variety Of Foods

Ants will eat just about anything. This includes other insects, parts of dead animals, sweets and sugary foods, fruits, and vegetables. This means that your home will likely have food that they will find appealing such as dog kibble that has spilled on the floor, which can quickly lead to an infestation.

Ants Can Enter Your Home Through Very Small Cracks

Since ants are small, they can enter your home through cracks that might seem really small. This means that you need to be very diligent about keeping an eye out for any cracks or openings in your home's foundation, windows, and doors and if possible, seal them up when you find them.

Ants Don't Have Ears, And Some Don't Have Eyes!

Ants are fascinating creatures. They don't have ears and some don't have eyes, but they communicate with each other using vibrations on the ground, scents, and by smashing their antennae together to create frequency changes. For smells, they communicate with each other through a process of pheromone exchange. They release chemicals (called pheromones) through their bodies to send messages to other ants such as "Hey! I found food over here."

Ants are annoying, aren't they?

Ants are found worldwide, and there are millions of them. Despite their prevalence, ants can be quite annoying. There are many species of ants, and while some are harmless, others can be quite harmful. Ants can be harmful because they can:

Ants can contaminate food by transferring pathogenic organisms, such as bacteria and fungi, via physical contact. The transfer of these microorganisms can be highly dependent on the type of food surface and ant species involved.

Ants like the nasty carpenter ant don't eat the wood in your home but carry it away to build their nest. Little by little they'll tear down your home from the inside out and that is why it is important to treat an infestation quickly.

Some species of ants, such as the red fire ant, have a painful sting. Additionally, the venom of the red fire ant is quite potent and can cause serious reactions in some people.

While most ants are harmless, some species of ants can transmit disease. For example, the Pharaoh Ant is known to carry organisms such as Clostridium, which can cause tetanus or botulism. The bacteria have also been linked with necrotizing intestinal tissue causing death in some cases or serious illness.

“Definitely Recommend!! They explained everything on the phone and showed up the next day and serviced my home and yard to perfection. They even gave me an extra treatment around my shed. It’s been 3 weeks now, haven’t seen any ants or wasps or critters. Will edit my review if I see something in the future. Overall 10+”

Frequently Asked Questions

We have a 5-step process for our general pest package. First, we knock down all the spider webs and wasps nests, then we spray the permiter of your home to create a 6-10-foot barrier, then we dust the cracks and crevices, we apply a granular bait to the yard, and finish our service with an optional interior treatment.

This package will cover a wide range of pests including ants, spiders, earwigs, certain roaches, and hundreds of other common household pests. It’s honestly easier to call out what is not included in the general pest program: mosquitoes, rodents and wildlife, termites and other wood-destroying insects, bed bugs, and german roaches.
