\"\"<\/a>Pest control experts in Ocean County, NJ<\/a> report that many residents have complained of high numbers of ant populations this year.<\/p>\n

The odorous house ant<\/a> typically resides outdoors and will build nests in a variety of different locations.\u00a0 Seeking areas in the soil, you can find these large nests buried under stones, patio blocks, landscape timbers, and mulching and\/or mulching plastic.\u00a0 The resourceful crew of the odorous house ants will not hesitate to utilize any other random object that is left unattended covering the soil, to build a nest.\u00a0 A random piece of wood, a child\u2019s toy, a flower pot, or even a container of pesticide will provide the perfect cover for these creatures.<\/p>\n

Odorous house ants mate in the months of June and July.\u00a0 It\u2019s at this time that you will see winged female and male reproductives leave the nesting site and fly off to begin a new nest.\u00a0 Once they find a suitable location, the males and females bite their wings off and begin excavation.\u00a0 After mating occurs, a short while later, death follows for the male and babies arrive for the female and the new colony is underway.<\/p>\n

Odorous house ants are attracted to honeydew and insects while\u00a0 foraging outdoors.\u00a0 When supplies are low, these pests will venture indoors and will set up satellite nests in wall voids, under floorboards, and behind baseboards.\u00a0 Indoors they will seek out sweets, meats, and even pet food.<\/p>\n
