Recognizing Ant Infestations
It is essential to take prompt action when any type of ant is detected on your premises. This is because, where you see one or two ants, there is likely to be more, as these insects leave signals to draw other members of their colony.
Therefore, if they gain entry to your property through small openings, there is a potential for them to grow into a colony of hundreds of thousands due to the pheromones they emit. Common signs of an infestation are visible ants, ant mounds, discarded wings, sawdust, wood shavings, and even a faint rustling sound within the walls, which can indicate carpenter ants.
Common Types of Ants
A variety of ant species are often encountered in residential and commercial settings. While they are generally not hazardous, they can transmit illnesses and contaminate food. To prevent them from entering, it is advisable to store food in sealed containers and to not leave dirty dishes in the sink.
Among the types of ants you may find:-
Acrobat Ants
-
Argentine Ants
-
Odorous House Ants
-
Pavement Ants
-
Pharaoh Ants
-
Small Black Ants
You may also encounter two species of ants that prove more destructive:
-
Carpenter Ants: Carpenter ants are bigger than other ant species, and they're attracted to dwellings which have moisture issues. Without prevention, these insects can cause extensive damage to the wooden components of a home, such as walls, floors, and support beams. This can lead to significant financial losses, along with making the house structurally unsound.
-
Fire Ants: While fire ants won't harm structures, they are known for their painful sting. Their venom can cause sweating, itching, and nausea. They may even prove fatal for individuals with allergic sensitivity. If you see fire ants in your home, you should call a professional ant control service immediately.

Unfortunately, DIY ant control solutions are rarely the best way to eliminate these pests. In fact, these options can sometimes make an infestation worse by disturbing the ants nest. On top of this, most DIY ant solutions only kill the insects you can see, allowing the colony to survive out of sight.
