Damage to Property and Health Risks

Most of the time ants are just a nuisance, but they can contaminate food. A full infestation can destroy food in your home and can destroy crops and food for animals and that can harm livestock.

Ants like fire ants normally set up their nests outdoors, but if disturbed can swarm and they can sting and post a health risk. Carpenter ants destroy wood and can weaken the structures in your home, which can lead to costly damage repairs.

Types of Ants

  • Carpenter Ants – These ants do not eat wood, but they like to live in it. They burrow in and set up elaborate nests that can significantly damage wood structures.
  • Fire Ants – These are the small red ants that can create huge swarms when a nest is disturbed or destroyed. Red fire ants are one of the few species that does sting and it can be quite painful.
  • Argentine Ants – These ants love to eat sugar and anything sweet. Once they get into your home they will leave trails to attract the rest of the hive and get into food, especially anything sweet.
  • Thief Ant – These ants love to eat proteins like meat, blood, fats, other insects, etc. Once they end up inside a home they are hard to find because they are extremely small, meaning they can also get into areas that other ants do not and travel far to find food.
  • Asian Needle Ant – The Asian needle ant poses a triple threat to humans. First, its venomous sting is painful, and on average, somewhat more likely to cause an allergic reaction than the venom in a honey bee’s sting. As a result, people allergic to insect stings should take special care to avoid stings when in an Asian needle ant-infested area.
  • Acrobat Ants – Acrobat ants get their common name from their ability to acrobatically raise their abdomen over their thorax and head, especially when disturbed. Acrobat ants can be found indoors with great frequency which are typically moist and are often dark.
