Ants are the most
common type of pest
that infests many of the area's homes. Wet weather and hunger drive ants inside homes in search of dry ground and food. Ants are very social pests, and when they locate suitable food and habitat, they signal their entire colony to come to the new find. Once ants have set up housekeeping inside your home, just spraying the ones you can see isn't going to get rid of the colony. The bulk of those ants are in all the areas you can't see while others are out looking for more food.
Many different ants might invade your home. Odorous House Ants are often found in the walls and wooden structures in homes. They earned their name from the bad smell they emit when crushed. They feed on all the things we like to eat.
Pavement Ants are the most common, are named for how they are seen digging around sidewalks and driveways. They also can live and eat in wood, mulch, and the walls and insulation in your home.
If you've seen large ants and piles of sawdust, you are witnessing Carpenter Ants at their work. These ants are particularly unfortunate to see around, in that they not only are looking to infest your food sources, they also live in moist woody or papery habitats that are also reliable indicators of fertile termite habitat. These ants have sharp pincers that will hurt if you are bitten.
