About Ants &
Their Behavior

Ants are small, social insects known for their highly organized colonies and cooperative behavior. They live in structured communities with a division of labor, where different ants have specific roles such as workers, soldiers, and queens. Ants communicate using chemicals called pheromones, which help them share information about food sources, danger, and paths to follow.

Ants Facts

Understanding
Ants Problems

While they may appear harmless, ants can quickly form large colonies and contaminate food sources. Some species also bite or damage structures. Their ability to enter through the tiniest gaps makes them tough to eliminate without expert help. At AIPM Pest Management, we identify the ant species, trace their nests, and use targeted, eco-friendly treatments to control infestations and prevent their return.

Lifespan

Worker ants live for a few weeks to months, while queens can survive for years. Their long-lived colonies thrive with structured roles and teamwork.

Disease Risk

While not as dangerous as other pests, ants can still carry bacteria from dirty places to food surfaces, posing health risks.

Antennae

Ants use their elbowed antennae to sense smell, touch, and communicate. It’s how they navigate, find food, and alert others to danger.

Feeding

Ants feed on sugars, proteins, and grease. They forage constantly and bring food back to share with the colony through mouth-to-mouth transfer.

    FAQ

    Frequently asked questions.

    Why do I suddenly have ants in my home?

    Ants enter homes in search of food, water, or shelter. Even small crumbs, sugary spills, or moisture can attract them. Once they find a source, they leave a scent trail for others to follow.

    Will store-bought sprays work for ant problems?

    Temporary sprays may kill visible ants but don’t target the nest. Without eliminating the colony, the infestation will return. AIPM uses professional methods to locate and destroy ant nests effectively.

    We begin with a thorough inspection to identify the species and source. Based on our findings, we use targeted, safe, and environment-friendly solutions that eliminate ants and prevent future outbreaks.
