Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants rank among the prevalent ant species in Massachusetts. They are known for their tendency to damage wood. Unlike termites, they don’t consume the wood they gnaw but rather carve it out, leaving behind hollowed structures. As a frequent pest sighted in spring and summer months, tackling a carpenter ant invasion often needs the expertise of a professional exterminator.
Sugar Ants
Sugar ants, typically discovered in kitchens or bathrooms, are diminutive in size but can amass in significant numbers. Their attraction to sugary substances is notable. Maintaining cleanliness on countertops is crucial to deter these ants from infiltrating your living space.
Citronella Ants
Citronella ants are named for the lemon-like scent they release when they perceive danger. Possessing wings, they have the ability to swarm. NW Pest Control provides proactive strategies to eradicate these ants before they become a nuisance.
Preventative Measures To Help Avoid Ant Infestations:
- Trim tree branches and shrubs away from the house.
- Promptly clean up any crumbs and spills.
- Use sealed containers for garbage and dispose of it regularly, and store food items in sealed or airtight containers.
- Seal cracks and openings around the exterior of the house, including utility and pipe entry points.
- Maintain weather-stripping and repair any loose mortar around basement foundations and windows.
- Avoid leaving food uncovered on counters or pet food on the floor for extended periods.
