Red Ants May be Pavement Ants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Are your Ocean County pest control services<\/a> coming prepared to battle the right bug? Those red ants lighting up your pavement like a scene from a horror movie may not be the fire ants you feared \u2013 but red pavement ants.<\/p>\n

Seeing Red?<\/strong>
\nFood fanatics with a penchant for sweets, the red pavement ant<\/a> sends a few scouts out in search of food \u2013 and when it’s discovered \u2013 EUREKA! Hundreds upon hundreds will quickly cover the food item with their bodies, creating extremely troublesome infestation scenarios.<\/p>\n

Small in Size, Large in Number<\/strong>
\nThey’re commonly seen in mass quantities on sidewalks, driveways, and other swaths of pavement, as well as indoors in the presence of food. Red pavement ants might not pack the fiery punch of their greatly feared cousins, but they can bite and sting and still cause quite a pain. Professional extermination<\/a> is the key to successful eradication.<\/p>\n

How Can You Tell the Difference?<\/strong>
\nPavement ants are very small – 1\/10 to 1\/8 inch, compared to fire ants which can vary in size 1\/8-inch to almost 3\/8-inch in length, depending on the worker. They typically nest under stones, along driveways or within concrete cracks, compared to fire ants\u2019 mountainous, generally lawn-bound dirt mounds.<\/p>\n
