Pharaoh Ants
This ant is a very common household pest. It will build its colonies anywhere from
behind baseboards, in wall voids, attics and even outside. The colonies of the pharaoh
ant may very from several thousand ants to only a few hundred ants.
Because pharaoh ants have a high demand for water,they are very aggressive when it
comes to obtaining it. They have been known to take it from pet dishes, aquariums, and
faucets to name a few.
Primarily known as a sweet ant, the pharaoh ant will feed on other types of food. Such
as meats, syrups, sweets, crackers, dead insects and pet food.
If you are experiencing a problem with this ant species, DO NOT attempt to spray the
ants with a contact insecticide. This will only kill the workers in the population and
cause the ants to pick their nest up and move to another location. To obtain control of
the population you must use baits that will be carried back to the queen.
