Problems Caused by Ants
While a few ants may seem harmless, the damage they cause in large numbers can be severe. A carpenter ant infestation can damage wood, while a pavement ant infestation can excavate large amounts of soil under slabs to create carpenter ant nests. Over time, this can cause sinking and settling of soil under the slab and may lead to foundation cracks. Nuisance ants can contaminate food. We all know what a line of ants marching by can do to a business’s reputation. Office buildings, multifamily units, and restaurants are especially susceptible, but really all commercial properties are at risk for these pests. Ant treatments and ant control can help but only when you call in a professional ant exterminator.
Ants are small insects that vary in size, shape, and function, depending on the species and type. Black, reddish-brown, orange, or other colors, they all have six legs and bulbous abdomens with a constricted waist. Ants also tend to travel in large working groups, so when one shows up, it’s almost guaranteed there are more on the way. The best way to control ants in your business is to bring in a professional exterminator.
