Ants
About Ants
Ants are social insects whose colonies contain workers, males and queens. Ants require a high degree of moisture in order to survive and will travel far from the colony to satisfy that need. . There are many different varieties of ants found in New Jersey. Some, like the Yellow Ant, can be confused with Termites, yet cause no harm to structures. The common home invading ant in New Jersey is the Pavement Ant. The colony is usually found in foundation walls and concrete slabs.
Lined Acrobatic Ants can be found near damp wood, nesting beneath windowsills or roof gutters. The Thief Ant and Pharaoh Ant will feed on meat and foods that contain protein rather than sweet foods. The Little Black Ant nests in sandy soil but may be found in the home when foraging for food.
Ant Treatments
Proper identification of the ant colony is the first step in control of infestation. Because of the variety of ants found in New Jersey, it is important to understand what constitutes a problem.
