Ant Treatment

As pest control specialists at All Pest Management & Services Sdn Bhd, we have encountered numerous cases of ant infestations in homes and businesses. These tiny creatures may seem harmless, but they can cause significant damage to property and pose health risks to humans. In this guide, we explore the different types of ants, how they infest properties, and the various methods used to eliminate them.

Understanding Ants

Ants are social insects that live in colonies, with different species exhibiting unique characteristics and behaviors. Some common types of ants found in homes and businesses include:

Ant Type Description
Odorous House Ants Emit a strong, rotten coconut-like smell when crushed.
Pavement Ants Commonly found in pavement cracks, sidewalks, and building foundations.
Carpenter Ants Large black ants that tunnel into wood and cause structural damage.
Pharaoh Ants Small yellow ants commonly found in food and food preparation areas.

How Ants Infest Properties

  • Food and moisture: Ants are attracted to sweet or sticky substances and enter through doors, windows, or cracks.
  • Soil and vegetation: Ants nest in soil and plants and access properties via underground tunnels or walls.
  • Human activity: Ants may be brought indoors through objects, packaging, or clothing.
