The carpenter ant, pharaoh ant and pavement ant are the most common ants found in Canada. Most ant infestations occur in late spring and early summer. Ants like moist area
ants can be found in the kitchen area, bathroom, door frame, window frame and sometimes in the baseboard of the house. Carpenter ants primarily take advantage of moist conditions in structural wood wall voids, insulation, and hollows of doors etc. to construct their colonies. A colony will consist of different castes, I.e., larvae, pupa, minor and major workers, reproductive and a founding queen. They swarm in mating flights and may be the first sign of a carpenter ant problem. A founder queen will establish a colony by laying 20 to 30 eggs and then feeding the larvae until a population occurs. The colony will continue to mature for 3 to 6 years, at which time 3000 or more members may be present. Ants can cause irreversible damage to wooden structures of houses. residual spray treatment is recommended for controlling carpenter and pavement ant infestation.
