Protecting Your Home & Family from Ant Problems

Dealing with Ants in your Home

It can be annoying to find ants in your home, and many ants, including the common pavement ant can be difficult to control. Considering that ants frequently travel through unsanitary areas before they end up on your countertops, you should take steps to keep them away from your family, pets and food. (Carpenter Ants – which are wood damaging – are covered under a separate section).

Types of Ant Problems

Black House Ant

Black House Ants are only 2.5-3mm long. These ants are regarded as a nuisance and scavenge in kitchens, garbage and also dog excrement, therefore potentially spreading diseases such as salmonella. ‘Common Ants’ include the intensely black ‘Black House Ants’, which are attracted to sweets and the light yellowish brown ‘Coastal Brown Ant’, which prefers to feed on meat products and grease. The most effective control measure is to find the colony and treat it.

Pharoah Ant

worker ants are 1/16” long and the Queen is 1/8 – 1/4 long. Both workers and the Queen are a yellow-brown color. Pharoah Ants originate from the tropics and require artificial heat in order to survive and reproduce and tend to live in large heated buildings such as hospitals, hotels and apartments. The pharoah ant is one of the most difficult ant species to control.

Bulldog Ant

About 18 – 20mm long the Bulldog Ant typically nests outdoors in soil and under logs and rocks. Located mostly in bushy areas and rarely enters buildings. A Bulldog Ant sting can inflict a very painful sting.

How to Ant-Proof Your Home

Most ants come inside your home looking for food. They are attracted by sweet and sticky substances. Ant proof you home by making food unavailable:

  • Always cover food – who knows where that ant has been before it crawls across your food!
  • Clean food and liquid spills immediately
  • Clean food debris from under kitchen appliances
  • Make sure all garbage cans are tightly sealed
  • Keep compost piles enclosed and covered
  • Put away pet food as soon as your pet has finished eating

You can also help prevent Ants entering your home by sealing access points such as cracks and crevices in door and window frames.

How to get rid of Ants

While a wide range of do-it-yourself products are available for ants, many times effective control requires a professional pest control service to gain control and prevent recurrence.
