Understanding Ants: What You Need to Know

 Ant

Ants are more than those pesky pests that are known to ruin picnics. Ants are social insects that invade properties in large numbers and are some of the most problematic and difficult-to-control pests living around our Rhode Island properties. There are millions of ants living in our area, and it is only a matter of time before some of those ants discover that your yard or home has the food and shelter they are looking for.

Below is a list of our area's most common ants:

Are Ants Dangerous? Understanding the Risks

Most of the ants found nesting in our yards are harmless and only occupied with the food and water sources they find in and around your yard. However, ants don't always stay outside and away from our homes. They are always out and about searching for food, and often that search leads them into our homes.

When ants are in our homes, they are mainly considered nuisance pests. However, some ants are more than just an annoyance and are considered dangerous to either people or our properties.

Pharaoh ants are dangerous because they spread salmonella and streptococcus. They are a huge concern in hospitals as they invade patient IV bags, eyes, and wounds searching for moisture. Carpenter ants are also dangerous. If they ever decide to create an indoor nest, they will invade and tunnel through structural wood, causing extensive and expensive-to-repair damage over time.
