8 Common Types of Ants
Odorous House Ants
• Although nests are in a variety
of places, when inside
buildings, they’re often found
in the walls or beneath the
floor
• These ants are most likely to
invade buildings when it rains
• When outdoors, these ants
feed on honeydew, but inside
buildings, they prefer sweet
foods, but will also feed on
meats and grease.
Pavement Ants
• As the name suggests, these
ends have a habit for nesting
under pavement
• These ants do not pose a health
threat, but can contaminate
food by leaving waste behind
• Pavement ants are not partial to
certain foods and will eat
almost anything including:
insects, grease, seeds,
honeydew, meats, cheese etc.
Fire Ants
• Fire ants primarily feed on
vegetation
• These creatures will build their
nests in mounds of soils outdoors,
near building foundations and
landscape areas
• The painful sting of a fire ant can
cause a raised welt, turning into a
white blister after
• Their mound-building process can
damage plant roots leading to loss
of crops
Carpenter Ants
• The diet of a carpenter ant can
include living and dead insects,
meats, fats, and all kinds of sugary
foods
• These ants build nests anywhere
they can spot water or mold,
damp wood like tree stumps,
plants around your home or
firewood
• Carpenter ants damage wood
houses stand on by digging
tunnels within the wood,
weakening the structure
Pharaoh Ant
• These ants feed on all food typed,
but especially sweet foods
• Nests are found in hidden,
inconspicuous areas throughout a
structure
• They like to colonize near warm,
humid places like drains and pipes
• Pharaoh ants cannot survive the
temperate climate of the U.S.
while outdoors all year-round
• To survive, Pharaoh ants will find
comfort in artificially heated
buildings to get through the winter
Argentine Ant
• They nest in a variety of
places, both dry and moist
• Worker Argentine ants prefer
sweet foods like: syrup, fruit
juices, plant secretions
• No sting, but they can still
bite
• They emit a musty order
when stepped on, versus
acidic like most ants
Field Ant
• Field ants are the largest group
of ants as there are many
different kinds
• These ants are not commonly
found indoors
• They nest mostly in outdoor,
open areas of soil, greenery or
dead wood
• These creatures can impart
harm through their stingers and
the capacity to spray formic
acid, which can be painful
Try and seal cracks and crevices that surround foundations. This will make entry from the
outside difficult for ants.
Seal and story any sugary food in tightly closed container, making sure to wipe the outside
of the contain clean to rid any stickiness
Stay on top of trash, grease and spills , making sure to clean up after each
Be sure to inspect any potted plants you may have inside your home for signs of nesting
and remove them at the first sign of infection
