Residential Ant Exterminator | Viking Pest ControlHow to Identify New Jersey Pest Ants

There are too many ant species for us to mention. However, there are a few that are particularly prevalent throughout Monmouth County.

Here is what our pest management professionals think you should know:

  • Carpenter Ants: In Monmouth County, you will come across black carpenter ants. These ants are completely black and can be up to 13 millimeters in length – which is large for most ant species. They can build burrows into rotting wood and other housing materials. Usually, they target wet wood and housing materials as opposed to any dry materials.
  • Pavement Ants: The Pavement ants often nest under slabs of concrete or rocks. They only emerge when they need to find food – such as crumbs. These are smaller ants (usually no more than 3 millimeters) and are deep brown or black. They usually navigate to your kitchen and will try to consume anything from crumbs, to spreads, to sugars, to grains, and more.
  • Pharaoh Ants: These ants are known to prosper in warmer weather. As a result, when the weather is much colder, they tend to enter households and offices. You need not worry about them during the summer months, but you do want to take caution during the winter months.

How to Prevent Ant Infestations in New Jersey Homes and Businesses

We want you to know the necessary precautions beforehand. The biggest factor that causes ant infestation is when they look for food.

To prevent this, you want to practice good hygiene habits – ensuring that your home or business is always clean. Food containers, bowls, plates, cutlery, etc., should always be kept clean and preferably in a cupboard.

Your garbage should also be kept away at the end of the day. Keeping it indoors overnight can attract ants. All spills, including water, need to be wiped clean. All cracks and holes in the house (interior and exterior) should be sealed, explain the pest management professionals at Viking.
