Ants

Ants are a common household pest that can be difficult to control. There are several different species of ants, but the most common household ants are carpenter ants, odorous house ants, and pavement ants.

Carpenter ants are large black or red ants that can cause damage to wood structures in your home. They do not eat wood, but they excavate it to create their nests.

Odorous house ants are small brown or black ants that emit a foul odor when crushed. They are typically found in kitchens and bathrooms, where they have easy access to food and water.

Pavement ants are small brown or black ants that typically build their nests in cracks and crevices in pavement or concrete. They are attracted to sugary foods and can quickly become a nuisance in your home.

Ants are social insects and live in colonies that can number in the thousands. They are omnivores and will eat a variety of foods, including sweets, meats, and fats. They can also cause damage to your property and be a nuisance when they enter your home.

In summary, ants are a common household pest that can cause damage to your property and be a nuisance in your home. It's important to take steps to prevent ants from entering your home, and to contact a pest control professional if you suspect an infestation.
