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.
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.
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.
These are the most common ants you will see. They are smaller, wingless, and have prominent mandibles for foraging.
A qualified pest control professional is the proven method for eliminating ant infestations. They typically offer free inspections to identify the specific type of ant. After identifying the species, they implement a customized treatment plan to get rid of all the ants in the house. This process involves:
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:
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
