The Problem

Ants are the top nuisance pest in Greater Philadelphia. While their small size may be misleading, they can quickly become a large problem. A few ants can be a sign of a much larger infestation, as a colony can contain up to 500,000 workers. They are highly communicative and resilient, using pheromones to guide others to food sources. This makes DIY methods like smashing or spraying them ineffective, since only a fraction of the colony is ever visible. Additionally, using bait can be tricky, as ants may ignore it if it doesn’t contain the food sources they need at that specific time of year.

Common Ant Types

Ants vary in size, ranging from tiny to up to an inch long, and can be brown, black, red, or yellow. While most are nonvenomous, some species can be aggressive.

Carpenter Ants

These ants can cause structural damage by boring tunnels through wood in door frames, walls, and beams. They have a formidable bite that can cause pain and swelling.

Fire Ants

The most aggressive species, they deliver a venomous sting that feels like a burning sensation. Fortunately, they are more common in the southern United States.

Worker Ants

These are the most common ants you will see. They are smaller, wingless, and have prominent mandibles for foraging.

Signs of Ant Infestation

How to Detect an Ant Infestation

While a few ants can be easy to ignore, they are a strong indication of a much larger problem. Here’s what you can look for to help confirm an ant infestation:

1. Trails of Ants:

The most obvious sign is seeing a line of ants traveling in a specific path, often leading to and from a food source. They use pheromones to create these trails, guiding other ants in the colony.

2. Ants Nests:

Look for small piles of dirt, wood shavings, or sand. Ant nests can be found both indoors and outdoors, often in cracks in the pavement, under floorboards, inside walls, or near foundations.

3. Food Contamination:

If you find ants in your pantry, on kitchen counters, or near pet food bowls, it's a clear sign they have located a food source within your home.

4. Structural Damage:

For specific types of ants, like carpenter ants, you may find small piles of wood shavings or hear a faint rustling sound within your walls, indicating they are tunneling through wood.

Don’t Let Ants Take Over

Ants may be small, but their impact can be significant. They can contaminate food, damage your property, and quickly multiply, making them nearly impossible to eliminate without professional help.
