The Key to Treatment: Proper Classification
There are many different ant species in New York, each of which brings about a unique set of challenges. That’s why it is important to count on a company that understands these differences. Here at Suburban Pest Control, our ant control in New York is designed specifically to target the four most common ant species found in the area. Some of the species we specifically target are:
Odorous House Ants
This specific species of ants have begun to pose a serious issue to West Chester homeowners in recent years. What makes so them difficult to treat on your own?
- They don’t respond to traditional ant baits.
- DIY treatments can make the problem worse.
- Their colonies contain thousands of workers and numerous queens.
With these ants, complete eradication often takes multiple professional treatments.
Pharaoh Ants
As one of the most common “sugar” ants, this species is often found in areas near moisture like the kitchen and bathroom. Typically, these ants enter through torn window screens, poorly sealed doors or windows, and cracks in your home's foundation. Treatment of a pharaoh ant infestation can be tough because:
- Incorrect usage of pesticides causes the colonies to split off and spread throughout your home.
- They like to nest in hard-to-reach areas that are warm and humid, and near food and water sources.
- Not only do nesting areas need to be treated, but foraging areas also need treatment.
It’s important to remove these ants from your home as they carry bacteria that can be dangerous, exposing you and your loved ones to serious diseases.
Carpenter Ants
Successful control of this “wood-destroying” species requires expert skill, knowledge, and experience— all of which our New York exterminators have! While often mistaken for termites, these ants don’t eat wood like termites. Instead, they chew and regurgitate it to create their pathways. Because the main colony requires a constant source of moisture, it can usually be found in dead wood outside or an area indoors with a water leak or poor ventilation. DIY treatments should not be attempted for carpenter ants because:
- Nests can be hidden deep in structures and out of direct site.
- Numerous satellite colonies can exist that need to be tracked down.
In order for treatment to be effective, an expert has to track down and treat as many of the satellite colonies as possible.
Pavement Ants
These small, black, and/or brown ants are often found in hills of dirt near homes’ sidewalks and driveways. They make their way indoors through easily accessible entry points. Although they do not cause any imminent threats, they can still be a serious source of discomfort for New York homeowners. Perimeter inspection and treatment are the best bet for long-term relief from this species.
