You will therefore have all the relevant information in hand in order to make an informed decision. Our experts will then carry out the extermination of ants under your approval. Depending on the type of ants identified, treatments may differ. Here are the main ant species that can cause parasitic infestations in Quebec.
Carpenter ants
Did you know that there are 5 species of carpenter ants in Quebec? In general, these ants are black and sometimes have some shades of red. They measure between 6 and 25 millimeters and have fairly curved antennae. Carpenter ants are particularly fond of damp and rotten wood to build their galleries and tunnel systems. Be aware that even if you come across one of these insects inside your home, their nest is not necessarily there. The study of the situation by our exterminators will tell you more and they will be able to offer you an appropriate treatment to eradicate any presence of carpenter ants.
Do not hesitate to act quickly since these pests can cause considerable damage to the structure of your property!
Field or pavement ants
Brown or black, the field ant builds its nest outside either between the paving stones of the sidewalk, in garden paths or under a stone. Have you seen several of them in your home? They are simply looking for food since they eat, among other things, fatty or sweet elements that can be found near your garbage can or in your cabinets. Their presence can quickly become unpleasant when they frequently walk inside. However, pavement ants are not known to be insects that can contribute to the deterioration of your home. They remain rather harmless even if they can sting or bite.
Pharaoh ants
This invasive species can easily be recognized by its almost transparent color. She measures 1.5 to 2 millimeters and loves to take up residence in hot and humid places. In addition, since pharaoh ants feed on a little bit of everything, frying, sweet foods, meats, fruits, moldy products, it is not uncommon for them to settle inside homes, restaurants or greenhouses. They are also very difficult to control since they are resistant to many products available on the market. This pest also carries germs and can leave dirt on your edible food. This is why it is essential to call on an expert to eliminate the infestation of pharaoh ants.
Common ants
Small black ants can become a real scourge when they decide to settle in a house. They are not dangerous, but could contaminate your food. Noticing the frequent presence of ants in a cereal box or crackers remains really unpleasant. Be aware that if this kind of situation occurs in winter, it is very likely that it is an infestation while in summer, they may simply be passing through in search of food. Extermination Pro-Nature can help you treat a common ant infestation optimally.
How do you know if you need the services of an exterminator?
Observing the presence of ants repeatedly and on the same places of passage inside your home can be a sign of an ant problem. If they are carpenter ants, you may notice small piles of sawdust or debris. Another important element to consider is the mating period of carpenter ants that takes place in the spring. Since ants lose their wings during this period, you may notice many wings accumulated in a specific place inside your property.
Even if you are not 100% sure that it is indeed an ant infestation, contact our qualified exterminators to benefit from a complete analysis and an accurate diagnosis about your situation.
