Pavement Ants, Again!
Although these little ants live inside, they get their name because they spend most of their lives under cracks in pavement, bricks and pavement stone. Pavement ant nests can be as large as 5,000 participants and have numerous queens. These pesky ants will eat virtually everything, including other ants, insects, grease, seeds, honeydew, honey, bread, meats, nuts, cheese and plastic. This ant gets its name because it most commonly nests in soil under slabs, sidewalks, patios, and driveways but can be found indoors in the foundation and walls of your house. The pavement ant can sometimes be confused with the grease ant that lives year around indoors and is a little smaller than the pavement ant. To help rid yourself of these freeloaders: eliminate standing water as insects like the pavement ant and mosquitoes are attracted to moisture. Keep tree branches and other shrubs away from the house. Check to see if there are cracks or openings around the bottom of your structures and seal them with chalking. Firewood and debris should not be stored up against your house. Ants love wet stacks of wood. If your ants are worrying you, give us a call at go green pest control and we will have a trained technician come out and put the boot down on your pests.
