Their technical name is \u201cTapinoma sessile\u201d but most people just know them as an annoying ant that can survive both inside and out.\u00a0 The \u201codorous house ant<\/a>\u201d comes by its name with good reason because of the stench it emits when you squish it.\u00a0 Doing so will reward you with a whiff of rotting coconuts.<\/p>\n

The odorous house ant<\/a> is a hardy ant which will live in massive colonies both indoors or outdoors.\u00a0 Two or more queen ants work tirelessly to produce more than 100,000 worker ants and hundreds of reproductives.\u00a0 Like many other ant species, odorous house ants feast upon the honeydew that is produced from mealybugs and aphids.\u00a0 These ants work 24 hours a day, 7 days per week for the good of the colony.<\/p>\n

During the early fall when honeydew is hard to come by, New Jersey homeowners often come under attack by an army of odorous house ants as they search for a replacement food source.\u00a0 As the autumn arrives, these hungry ants will change their diet and consume dairy products, vegetables, meats, sugary foods, fruit juices, sweets, pet food, or any other food substance made available by humans.\u00a0\u00a0As these pests hunt for food, they contaminate food sources and preparation areas.<\/p>\n

Once odorous house ants find their way indoors, they will not leave on their own unless Argentine ants force them to move out, which would make for an entirely different ant nightmare.\u00a0 Hiring a Monmouth County, NJ exterminator<\/a> to create an exterior barrier against all types of pests will keep odorous house ants from nesting in walls, under flooring, and behind cabinets.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
