Ant Pest Control

As most ant species prefer sunny climes, our climate isn’t suitable for many of them. However, the few species found here can be a nuisance when they get into your home. Garden or black ants aren’t thought to transmit diseases, but the trouble is that you don’t know where they’ve been foraging outside, so the idea of them marching through your food cupboards is not a very pleasant one.

Ants will travel in all directions from their nests, searching for food, following established trails, and clustering around food sources, becoming a nuisance in homes, organizations, and businesses.

Common Signs of an Ant Infestation

  • If you notice one black ant somewhere in the house, it’s not a cause for alarm yet. But when they start appearing regularly, their nest may be somewhere in the building or your garden.
  • Small piles of soil around holes in the garden and at the base of exterior walls may point to a much bigger problem – ant nests hidden underneath.
  • Flying ants near your property. Winged ants are not a separate ant species but regular ants, such as black ants, mature enough to leave their nests, reproduce, and start new colonies. Their presence may indicate that there’s a nest in the area or risk of a new one appearing soon.
  • If you hear rustling noises coming from inside your walls, it may be a sign of an ant or other type of pest infestation.

Ant Facts

Contrary to her title, the ant queen is not in charge of the ants’ nest; she does not direct the ants or make colony decisions. Her role is vital because she is the only one that can lay eggs and reproduce worker ants to ensure the survival of the colony.

The queen holds the highest rank in the ant hierarchy β€” there is no king. Some ant species have more than one queen per nest, but the number is limited, so if the queen(s) dies, the colony dies because there will be no new workers. Once the last of the existing workers reaches its three- to four-month life span and dies, the colony will cease to exist.

The queen does not search for food, leave the nest, or even feed herself. Rather, she is fed by worker ants that are all sterile females. As a colony grows, it will eventually produce flying ants (male and female), which swarm from the nest to mate. After mating, the male will die and the female will seek a new nesting site to start the process over again.

Ants don’t have ears. They β€œhear” by feeling vibrations in the ground through their feet. Most ants have very poor eyesight, and some have no eyes at all. These species have developed such advanced communication through their antennae that they do not need eyes.

The total weight of all ants in the world is the same as, if not larger than, that of all humans.
