Ants

A major and most common pest infestation problem faced by many home owners and corporate offices is that of ants. Ants mainly look for food and water before infesting a property. If they find an abundance of both in any location, they build their nests and thus begin an infestation. While ants are really small in size and may seem harmless, they can cause quite a lot of damage as well as pose a few serious health hazards.

There are various types of ants and each causes different but serious amounts of damages. Ants live in colonies and each colony is ruled by a queen. The thousands of ants in a single colony protect the queen as the queen is responsible for reproduction.

Ants Infestation

One of the most common type of ants that infest properties is the Pavement Ant. These ants build their colony under pavements or curbs and travel short distances in search of food and water. These ants are small and brown in color. They are quite notorious little pests as they infest properties and create a nuisance.

Another common type of ant that infests properties is the Pharaoh Ant. These ants are small and yellowish brown in color. They have a very specific way of foraging for food. They set out early in the morning in search of food. If any of them find food, they return to the nest and alert the others. They then create a trail to the food source and back to the nest.

The third most common ant infestation is that of the Carpenter Ant. These ants build colonies in trees in your garden or in wooden buildings and structures, thus causing extensive property damages. Unlike termites, these ants do not consume the wood that they chew out.

Health Perils and Property Damages

Ants do not spread any sort of disease or illness. However, their bites cannot be totally disregarded. Ant bites can result in rashes, reddening of skin and allergic reactions.

If you are attacked by a colony of ants and suffer numerous bites, there is a chance that you may go into a shock. Ant bites are definitely curable and you need not have any serious worries about it. However, it’s better to get rid of these pests rather than endure their painful bites.

Ants make ant hills in your backyard or gardens and this is not a very pleasant sight. They disrupt the soil to make their nests and this results in subsidence of the soil. It also gets difficult for you to let children or pets play in the garden for fear of being bitten by these ants. They are also responsible for extensive damages to property as they bore holes in wooden structures and furniture and since they manage to do this hidden from plain view most of the times, the problem goes undetected for a long time too.
