While Idaho is a great place to raise a family, it’s also another location Ants love to call home, too. Ants are social insects that live in large colonies made up of reproductive females, reproductive males, and non-reproductive (or worker) females. These colonies can have millions of members. Ants have three body sections – the head, thorax, and abdomen. They have six legs and are exceptionally strong insects, able to lift items that are far above their body weight.
There are many types of ants, but two that are common in IDAHO are fire ants and odorous house ants.
Carpenter Ant
A large, black, or bicolored red and black ant that can cause significant structural damage to homes by tunneling through wood.
Ants live in nests, usually built underground. However, as mentioned above, they sometimes build their nests in wall voids, usually near a water source. Once inside your Idaho home, ants may be observed crawling across your counters or inside your cabinets on their way to a food source. Outside your home, you’re likely to find ants under rocks or wood piles, or simply walking across the ground.
Once they get inside your house, ants can be difficult to remove. It’s important to eliminate them all so they don’t pose a problem in the future. Super Nova Pest Control offers pest control services that will take care of your ant problem.
Ants are drawn to moisture and food, so eliminating those two attractants will go a long way in protecting your home. Here are some helpful ant prevention tips:
