Carpenter Ants: Carpenter ants are the most conspicuous ants found in and around the homes. These ants are large ranging from 1/4 to 3/4 inch and are typically blackish. Carpenter ants will establish nests in a number of different locations. Outdoor nesting site includes tree stump, hollow logs or any large piece of wood. Indoor nesting may be found in windowsills, wall voids, or other hallow areas.
Pavement Ants: Pavement ants are small 1/8 to 1/6 inch blackish brown. Nest are usually found outdoor next to the structures, under cracks of pavement, under floors and insulations, in walls, and homes with slab-on-grade construction. Pavement ants enter the structures through cracks or similar opening in search of food. Greasy and sweet food are preferred.
Little Black Ants: Little black ants are a common household pest that can be a real nuisance. These tiny insects are known for their persistence and ability to infiltrate even the cleanest of homes. While they may seem harmless, little black ants can pose a significant threat, contaminating food sources and potentially spreading diseases. They are jet-black and about 1/15 inch long. Nest are normally outdoors, in soil or under objects. These ants colonies have multiple queens and may become very large.
