Odorous house ants<\/a> may have a symbiotic relationship with aphids, but they surely don\u2019t with humans!\u00a0 It\u2019s easy to forget about these pesky little ants during the winter months in New Jersey as they are well hidden awaiting the warmth of spring.\u00a0 Once warmer weather arrives, the odorous house ants<\/a> will be a lively bunch of hungry little bugs.<\/p>\n

For the average person, most ants look the same, with the exception of the carpenter ant which is much larger than other ant species.\u00a0 The odorous house ant stands out among the rest because of the intense smell that they emit when they are squished\u2026hence the name.\u00a0 The smell is likened to that of rotting coconuts.<\/p>\n

Odorous house ants build their nests in soil, but do not require a deep nesting site.\u00a0 They are mostly attracted to sweets but will consume other human or pet food when it is available.\u00a0 Odorous house ants will not hesitate to invade a structure by slipping in through tiny cracks in concrete slabs or breaches in the structure.\u00a0 Once inside, they will travel back and forth between the colony and the hidden space.\u00a0 They are also known to reproduce within protected indoor environments.\u00a0 There are several queens that exist within an odorous house ant colony which is why their population growth is large and troublesome.<\/p>\n

Proper identification of the invading ant species is important so that the correct control measures can be used.\u00a0 Failure to eliminate the queen or queens within the ant colony by spraying insecticide on ants that are seen trailing or those that have come into a structure will not eliminate a colony.\u00a0 In many instances, when under attack, ant colonies will divide when alarm pheromones are sent by other ant members.\u00a0 This budding of the colony will cause the original ant infestation to become a more significant problem than the one that originally existed.<\/p>\n

In New Jersey, odorous house ants are a difficult pest to eradicate without the help of an entomologist or a Monmouth County, NJ pest control<\/a> professional.\u00a0\u00a0Contact Allison Pest Control for expert help in eradicating all types of ants and other invasive insects and rodents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
