Carpenter Ant Activity
Ants are easy to recognize but can be difficult to eliminate once the colony has invaded and established at a location. Attracted to any form of food, ants invade and contaminate food supplies quickly. Similar to Termites, ants also form colonies lead by a queen and her workers. They establish themselves quickly if not treated and form large mounds alongside openings and crevices of a property.

Pharaoh Ants
Light brown or red in color, the Pharaoh ant is very small in size and often difficult to detect. Nests are usually found in inaccessible areas that are prone to high levels of moisture. Pharaoh ants are capable of spreading bacteria to food supplies and require experienced pest control methods from professionals.
Carpenter Ants
Avoiding the food supply and preferring wood instead, Carpenter ants look for moist areas and chew away at wood and other structural components. Small piles of sawdust almost always indicates the presence of carpenter ants. Carpenter ants systematically chew their way through the wood of a home or business potentially causing significant damage.
