\"All
All You Need to Know About Ant Identification Is Right Here!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ants, one of the most common pests<\/a> you will find during the summer, are also one of the least understood by people. Ants actually live in a complex social structure which allows them to exist throughout the world.<\/p>\n

Social Structure <\/strong><\/p>\n

All ants in a colony will fall into one of three roles, a worker, a male or a queen. Workers are sterile females that bring food into the colony and they are the ones that infiltrate homes that result in Monmouth County ant control.<\/p>\n

Coloring and Size<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ants come in a variety of colors, including multiple shades of brown, yellow, red and black. Average ant size ranges from 1\/20th of an inch to about 1\/2″ inch.<\/p>\n

Nesting<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ants can create living spaces in an assortment of material, including soil, decaying wood and under baseboards and countertops. Carpenter ants are notorious for building nests under floorboards and behind walls.<\/p>\n

Food <\/strong><\/p>\n

Depending on the variety of ant, the food they are partial to eating ranges from meat to starches to sweet and even fat.<\/p>\n

Type<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Carpenter ant causes physical damage to a home’s structure because they chew wood and use it to create their nests. Smaller ants like the Thief ant and the Pharaoh ant are an annoyance but do not cause damage.<\/p>\n
