Pavement Ant Tetramorium Caespitum Appearance: One of the most common home "invaders" on the front range are pavement ants; which are usually about 1/8" long & brown to dark brown in color.  Concerns: Typically considered a nuisance pest, ants are not disease carriers, nor do the house infesting ants typically bite. Habits: Different species of ants have various food habits. Sweet materials are favored by some ants while others prefer to feed on seed, grease, or protein-rich- foods. Ants periodically produce mating swarms with large numbers of winged males and females, emerging from the colony and flying. Swarming usually happens during warm evenings from early spring through late summer following wet weather. Control: Destruction of ant nests is a more permanent control. This often requires use of ant baits containing a slow acting insecticide which the ants take back to the colony and feed to the other ants. In some cases you will see more activity after baiting as the ants are attracted to the bait. We ask that the customer wait for at least a week before calling for a re-treatment, and please do not spray the bait with insecticide or cleaner as it may contaminate the bait, rendering it ineffective. Infestations almost always originate outdoors, and can be reduced by the application of residual liquids around the exterior perimeter of the home, placing baits inside at areas of activity, as well as physical control methods such as sealing entry points around the exterior of the house. EnviroPest uses Granular & Gel style baits inside, and highly effective residual liquid applications outside. |
