About BUGGZONA PEST CONTROL
Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants are a wood-destroying member of the ant family. Even though they do not eat wood, they tunnel into it to make a nest. Carpenter ants are often confused with termites because they also destroy wood in your home. Both carpenter ants and termites have a winged reproductive ant with wings. These winged ants are a sign that the colony is growing. They can be black or red and black, but are usually larger than other ants (1/4″ to 1 1/2″).Carpenter ant colonies may contain as many as 3000-4000 ants.Carpenter ants are social insects who live together in large colonies. Like bees and termites, these insects have males, queens and workers.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants are the small, reddish-brown ants commonly seen along pavement and sidewalks. They are known to feed on both greasy and sweet foods. Very often they build their nests along the sides of garages and houses, and parts of houses constructed on concrete slabs. They enter dwellings through cracks in basement walls or concrete floors, or through basement windows and doors. They can build their nest under a poured concrete slab if adequate access (cracks) is found.
