Common Ants Found In Local Homes
Understanding the type of ant invading your property is critical for effective treatment.
Carpenter Ant Biology & Information
Carpenter ants are especially concerning due to their ability to damage wooden structures over time.
- Common throughout the Northeast, including Rhode Island and Massachusetts
- Often nest in damp or decaying wood near windows, decks, porches, or basements
- Create satellite nests indoors while main colonies remain outside
- Active year-round and found both indoors and outdoors
Partnering with a professional ant exterminator helps ensure carpenter ants are eliminated properly using methods designed for long-term control.
Pavement Ant Information & Biology
(Also known as sugar ants or house ants)
- Commonly nest in cracks in pavement, foundations, or under flooring
- Frequently invade kitchens in search of sugary or greasy foods
- Can swarm indoors during warmer months
- Do not cause structural damage but can be persistent nuisances
- Professional ant management is often required to eliminate colonies hidden behind walls or beneath structures.
Effective Control Advice
While professional treatment is essential for active infestations, these steps can help reduce ant activity:
- Keep kitchens clean and food sealed
- Wipe counters and floors regularly
- Seal cracks and gaps around doors and windows
- Store pet food away from foundation walls
For persistent infestations, professional intervention ensures complete colony elimination rather than temporary fixes.
