Methods used for pavement ant extermination

When ants are seen inside your home or business, it is important to detect the location of the nest. To get rid of pavement ants on a long-term basis, the queen, which is the colony’s breeder, must be eliminated. Many baits can be placed on the floors of the house, which the ants will bring back to the other workers as well as to the queen. You can also spread an insecticide on the surfaces at risk.

Pavement ant information

Knowing more about pavement ants will allow you to identify and treat your problem more easily. This will allow you to act with full knowledge of the pavement ant infestation that is occurring in your home.

Here is some information about them:

Appearance

Black or reddish brown in color, the pavement ant measures between 2.5 to 4 mm, with the exception of the queen which is twice as large. It has grooves on the head as well as on the front of the body.

Reproduction

The queen produces up to 20 eggs per day and a colony can grow up to 5,000 ants.

Habits

Pavement ants can be found between cracks in sidewalks and in cracks in asphalt, as well as in rock, dirt or sand. She throws up fine sand when she digs her nest. When the temperature gets colder, settlements take refuge inside heated houses and buildings to find warmth and food. We often find ants in a crack in the concrete of the cellar or garage. These prefer humid places. When it comes to food, pavement ants like sweet or fatty foods, which is why they invade kitchens before returning to their nests.
