The odorous house ant<\/a> is also known as the coconut ant or the stink ant.\u00a0 These pests are appropriately named due to the stink that they emit when they are crushed.\u00a0 The odorous house ant is very pesky and difficult to eradicate once it invades a human dwelling report Monmouth County, NJ exterminators<\/a>.<\/p>\n

On the exterior, odorous house ants build their nests under stones or in wood or debris pile.\u00a0 These types of ants will be found traveling both individually and in trailing formation.\u00a0 If you unearth a odorous house ant nest, the pests will scatter, grabbing any eggs that they can save.\u00a0 Some ants will react in a defensive mode by standing on their back legs as if ready to fight until the death.<\/p>\n

Odorous house ants often enjoy large colonies with over 10,000 members.\u00a0 One reason that these ants have been successful at making large nests is because they have many queens producing eggs for the colony.\u00a0 It is not uncommon for large nests to be split into multiple locations.\u00a0 Once odorous house ants have found their way indoors, these ants will feast upon any type of human or pet food that they encounter.\u00a0 Like other types of ants, the odorous house ant leaves a pheromone trail as it travels so that other ants are able to find their way into the chow line.\u00a0 Pheromone trails can be interrupted by using soapy water to sponge up the stinky invaders.<\/p>\n

Using store bought pesticides will kill odorous house ants on the surface but they will not reach into their nesting areas behind cabinets, in wall voids and under flooring.\u00a0 A Monmouth County, NJ exterminator<\/a> will be able to provide a protective barrier against these pests so that their chance of entering a home or business will be eliminated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
