\"Don't
Don’t Let Ants Give You a Headache, Let Us Help Ease Your Mind!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Ants are a headache for many homeowners in NJ, but different species can cause different kinds of problems. Being able to tell which species you have in your home can help you understand what you\u2019re dealing with. Carpenter ants and pavement ants<\/a> are two common ant species found in NJ. Here\u2019s how you can determine which one has invaded your home.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Appearance:<\/strong> Pavement ants are smaller than carpenter ants. They only grow to 4 mm long, but carpenter ants can be as long as 13 mm. Both species have a darker color ranging from brown to black, although pavement ants have lighter-colored legs.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Pavement ants:<\/strong> build their nests in walls, under floors and in outdoor areas, such as under stones.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Carpenter ants:<\/strong> build their nests in decaying or damp wood. They chew through wood in order to make their homes. Having pest control companies in Freehold<\/a> eliminate them as soon as detected will help prevent further damage.<\/p>\n

\u2022 Appetite:<\/strong> Carpenter ants and pavement ants both like foods that humans eat, but pavement ants prefer greasy foods. Pavement ants leave pheromone trails to food sources, which encourages their kin to enter your home.<\/p>\n

No matter what kind of ants you have, it\u2019s important to get help from pest control companies in Freehold before they get out of hand. Give Allison Pest Control<\/a> a call, and we\u2019ll get rid of any ant infestations you have in your home.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
