ant Control & extermination, teaneck, Nj
Why Ants are a Serious Problem.We usually don't pay attention when we see ants crawling on our desk, or near our food - and we sometimes leave them or just give them a quick sweep thinking they won't come back and annoy us anymore - well, at least for the time being. Ants don't give up easily and they can be persistent on providing a place for themselves to make their pathway from nest to food source and back.
Ants can be such a nuisance especially when we spot them in our pantry or counter tops where our food is - marching in unison, on a fixed path. Did you know that some ants can spread disease? This common pest can pose a health risk to you and your loved ones. Some ant bites can also cause serious pain and allergic reactions to some people. An ant bite can inject formic acid which is an irritant. The name formic acid comes from the Latin word for ant which is formica. These pesky ants can instantly make a home look dirty and infested, which is why we are obliged to do something about them as soon as we can to exterminate them. Just contact us any time and we will respond immediately. For a FREE Quote, fill out the form on the right or simply give us a call at the number below. |

Causes of Ants in the Home
|
What may be the reason for ants making our house their food source? Well, obviously what they want is food to provide to their queen so they can continuously grow their population. This means spillages, crumbs, or any food should not be left just laying anywhere. We should keep our homes clean especially from spills of sugary food. Remember to maintain good sanitation.
Another reason for ants inside your premises is because they like living there. They can burrow in the rotting wood of your house’s structure because this can give them enough room, protection and warmth to live in and build a colony. Ants starting in few numbers can easily become a major problem if you don’t act on them immediately. You can't give them the time to establish colonies in various places within your home or yard. We highly recommend you to ask help from a professional ant control and exterminator, to deal with them right away. |

Problems Ants can Bring
If your home is found to be an excellent food source by a colony of ants, it will bring many unpleasant situations. These pesky pests may be tiny but their numbers can cause serious problems. Despite their size, and being the most harmless of all pests, they can still bring a number of problems. They can carry germs and diseases from the places they have been to and touched, from feces outdoors, for example. Some ants can also bite and cause pain that no one would want to feel in the comforts of their own home. They can also cause damage to property by infesting the electrical area and also chewing on electrical wires, This problem should be attended to immediately to prevent future danger from short circuits..
Treating an invasion of ants should be done immediately and you shouldn't uderestimate them due to their small size. Ask help from a professional ant exterminator to help you get rid of them. |
Behavior of Ants
|
Communication
When ants want to communicate and transfer information within the colony, they use their pheromones, sounds, and touch. They release a scent or pheromone to create a track for food source, to confuse enemies (propaganda pheromones), and detect their colony members. Some ants can produce sounds using their mandibles. Building Nests Some ants may build permanent nests and some are nomadic. The nests may be built on trees, under stones and logs, in the ground, and hollow stems. Some ants avoid nests or areas with dead ants since they will be aware of the presence of a pest or disease. Defense Ants defend themselves from predators by biting, stinging and injecting or spraying chemicals. Some colony of Ants also protect their nests from pathogens by disposing of dead nest-mates. Learning Many animals learn from imitating, but ants learn from interactive teaching which makes them adjust in their current situation and prolong their survival. Although ants have the largest brain of all insects, it doesn’t mean every single one of them is smart. What is smart is their collective acts that form a highly efficient complex network. |
How to Find an Ant Nest
While it may be easy to track them down just by following their path, it takes more effort to actually find the nest since they are usually buried underground or within a structure. This makes it a lot more difficult. So doing destruction above the ground will not do enough damage to completely get rid of these ants.
Most ants can be seen in the yard where you would most likely stumble upon their ant hills, They can also be found where food is plentiful, meaning in the kitchen or pantry. The bathroom is also a usual place to find ants. A unique place to find ants is within the wooden structure of your house and this is done by carpenter ants, which can really be frightening because they can damage the foundation of your home. Here are some tips to look for to help you locate an ant nest:
When you locate an ant nest, be sure to inform your exterminator as soon as possible to stop them from growing and further pollute your food and water. |
