When you see tiny ants crawling around on your sidewalk, you\u2019re most likely seeing a species known as the pavement ant. They are common ants that can cause headaches for you from spring through fall. Here\u2019s what you should know about this species.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 They\u2019re not from around here.<\/strong> <a href=\"http:\/\/ento.psu.edu\/extension\/factsheets\/pavement-ant\" target=\"_blank\">Pavement ants<\/a> are an invasive species brought over from Europe on ships in the 1700s and 1800s. They came over on soil loaded onto these ships, and they now make their homes in the soil in many parts of the U.S., including New England, the Mid-Atlantic, the Northeast and the Midwest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 They\u2019re small, dark ants.<\/strong> Pavement ants are between 2.5 and 4 mm in length and have coloring that ranges from dark brown to black. Swarming pavement ants also have a pair of wings, but worker ants don\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 They have big appetites.<\/strong> Pavement ants make their way into homes through cracks in interior slabs and foundations in search of food, such as fruit or anything with sugar. They also eat almost any food that people eat, so it\u2019s important to keep your home free of crumbs.<\/p>\n<p>If pavement ants are ruining your summer, it\u2019s time to get help from pest control companies in Freehold.
