Ants
Finding the most effective treatment for ants depends on the specific type you have invading your house. Each species has different behaviors, preferences in food, and remedies that will be effective in keeping them out of your home. Certain ants, like fire ants and harvester ants, attract our attention because they can sting people and animals. Carpenter ants are important to control because they damage building materials. Some ants only become pests when they enter homes in search of food and water. These are the house-invading ants, nuisance ants or simply house ants. Common house ant species are: odorous house ant, Argentine ant, pharaoh ant and a few other species.
They are a large species of ant that are black in color. They do not eat the wood, they invade the wood to create tunnels to make their nesting and hibernation areas in. They are particularly drawn to wood that is unstained, unpainted or that has had previous water damage. Carpenter ants left untreated can cause significant damage to the structures of homes and other buildings.
