Ants

Types of Ants

Ants are incredibly diverse, with over 12,000 known species worldwide. Here are some of the most common types you might encounter:

  • Carpenter Ants – Known for nesting in wood, they don't eat it but can cause structural damage to homes.
  • Odorous House Ants – Named for the rotten coconut smell they release when crushed. Common household invaders.
  • Pavement Ants – Often seen along sidewalks and foundations. They build nests in cracks and feed on a wide variety of food.
  • Fire Ants – Recognized by their reddish color and painful sting. They're aggressive and build large mounds.
  • Pharaoh Ants – Tiny, yellow ants often found in hospitals and kitchens. Difficult to control due to their large colonies.
  • Argentine Ants – Highly invasive, these ants form massive colonies and can outcompete native species.

Each species has unique behaviors, habitats, and challenges—understanding the type you're dealing with is key to effective control.
