Differences in Ants<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019ve ever noticed pale brownish-yellow ants crawling around, these are known as ghost ants<\/a>. They get their name from the fact that their coloring makes them very difficult to see. Although they don\u2019t bite or sting, they\u2019re capable of building colonies that number in the thousands, which makes them hard to get rid of. They can also give off an odor when they\u2019re crushed.<\/p>\n

Ghost ants<\/a> are tropical ants that are mainly found in hotter climates. They feed on sweet foods, such as honeydew, as well as other insects. Their outdoor nests are typically found in the ground, while indoor nests are usually built in walls, in potted plant soil or between cupboards. If you have these ants inside your home, you\u2019re most likely to see them in your kitchen or near shower stalls and sinks, where they look for sources of water.<\/p>\n

Since ghost ants can build very large colonies, it\u2019s important to have Monmouth County pest control professionals handle any infestations that occur. Keep in mind that you can stop these pests from entering your home by trimming shrubs and getting rid of leaf piles or other debris that they can usually nest in.<\/p>\n

When you\u2019re having an ant problem, don\u2019t hesitate to call Allison Pest Control<\/a>. Our team of Monmouth County pest control experts will eliminate ghost ants and any other types of ants that are in your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
