Ants trailing after one another in long lines and swarming in the cracks of cement may be funny in cartoons, but it’s no laughing matter when it does damage to your property. When you see one ant, you’re probably going to see another. This is because they leave an odor for each other in order to provide directions for finding food sources. Like any pest infestation, you must correctly identify the type of ant that is a pest to you. A wrong identification will waste your time and money as the treatment you use it bound not to work.
Carpenter and Pavement ant are just two varieties these insects. They behave and eat differently from each other. A pavement ant will eat all the foods that people eat. They are especially fond of sugary and greasy foods. These are the ants you will often see swarming around food in your kitchen. They rarely bite, as they prefer to evade contact. They can produce colonies of 10,000 workers. And they are the most commonly found ant in the United States.
They forage for food by sending out a few workers that then find a source and recruit other ants to help carry the food back to their nest. Ant swarming is usually because new ants have just been hatched and as many workers as possible need to forage and feed them. If you see these ants near your property they’re going to to forage inside. Any unsealed cracks and crevices will be an entry point for them. But their tiny size will make it nearly impossible for you to seal up every entry. You will find that these ants like dry soil so you will see them most often in the summer.
Carpenter Ant
Carpenter ant can be found both outside and inside your property, but they like living in wet areas near wood. Although they are mainly tree dwellers, they can be found in your property around wood. They do not eat the wood like termites but they do use its damp wood as a location for their nests. They can be found near leaking roofs and leaking pipes, especially if wood is nearby.

It’s typically thought that when you see them, you have them. But carpenter ants are usually hidden inside wood.

Whether they are carpenter or pavement ants, you must find the nest to get rid of them. If you can’t find the colony, you can’t eliminate them. Ants are highly social insects. Where one goes, the others will follow. Ants are not necessarily a sign of a dirty house, but making your food unavailable can starve them out. This is a hygiene control. Another hygiene control would be to use disinfectant where you see ants trailing.
They will be unable to smell the direction of their predecessors. However, this is a temporary fix. Both ant types are very hard to control. Carpenter ants can be in a variety of spots in your house, especially because their nest may not be the primary nest. It could simply be a satellite that was developed because the population became too large. Middlesex Country Pest Control is the leader in ant pest control.
