Ants

 

There are more than 700 ant species found in North America, although only about 25 species commonly infest homes. Ants are social insects that typically live in underground colonies, made up of workers and a queen. Ants will eat practically any kind of food, but are especially attracted to sweets. Ant identification is relatively simple due to their three distinct body regions: head, thorax and abdomen, as well as antennae. Despite similar construction, ants vary in overall appearance. Small or large ants and brown or black ants are common nicknames for different species.

 

Proper identification is needed to dertermine the right mode of action as choosing the wrong treatment could make the problem much worse. That is why a pretreatment inspection is always done before any of our ant services.
