A home should be a peaceful place where you can relax and be happy, away from the dangerous world, right? Nobody likes sharing their space with opportunistic pests like pharaoh ants. For one, they are very hard to eliminate if they camp inside your home. Enlisting the help of a Fort Worth pest control company can help you put this problem behind you for good. All-Safe Pest & Termite is your ally for getting rid of pharaoh ants on your Fort Worth property.
The best way to know if you have pharaoh ants in your home is to look at the physical characteristics of the insects. They are usually yellowish or red and are pretty small, 1/16th of an inch long. Their abdomens are darker than the rest of the body. They don't have a spine and have functional eyes.
Pharaoh ants prefer to live in moist places where they can easily access water and food, like inside furniture, within drywall, and beneath sinks. Their diet mainly consists of protein, oils, and sweets. Thus, they can have a buffet in your kitchen since humans eat those foods. They like to live indoors, unlike other similar ant species, such as the Argentine ant. Here are signs that you have a pharaoh ants infestation in your home;
Once you are sure you have an infestation in your hands, contact All-Safe Pest & Termite for safe and effective pharaoh ant elimination. We will help you remove pharaoh ants on your property and prevent further infestation.
One of the main dangers that pharaoh ants in Fort Worth pose to human beings is spreading diseases. They crawl through dirty places and collect germs from those areas. They can also eat food covered in dangerous bacteria. Then, they crawl all over kitchen surfaces and foods, transferring these bacteria to them. This can cause diseases like staphylococcus, clostridium, streptococcus, and salmonellosis.
The small size of pharaoh ants in Fort Worth makes it easy for them to fit into tiny, hard-to-reach spaces and start colonies. Thus, if you have destroyed one colony, the survivors might split, form a colony nearby, and continue to multiply.
Each colony has several queens, so a queen will move and mate with a male reproductive ant when they split. The queen can live for about six months to one year and lay 400 eggs in her lifetime.
These ants are tiny, but they can make life difficult because they can multiply to thousands or hundreds of thousands in one colony. They can also bud, which means they split and form other colonies. They usually bud when they face danger, such as when homeowners use home remedies to try to eliminate them. The strategy backfires because the ants increase more rapidly after forming new colonies.
There is no need to waste time and money on store-bought pesticides and baits which might not work. The best thing to do is to hire professional pest control experts to control pharaoh ants on your property. All-Safe Pest & Termite has been eliminating pharaoh ants since 1984.
