Information About Pavement Ants
Locale on the Property
Pavement ants often nest under sidewalks, driveways, and building foundations, alongside garages and houses, and parts of houses which are constructed on concrete slabs. A mound of displaced soil along a paved area is probably a sign of pavement ant activity. In the winter, they invade homes seeking food and shelter, through small openings around windows and doors, basement walls, or concrete floors. Inside they commonly nest in walls and under floors.
Description
Brown to black bodies with paler legs and antennae.
Concerns
Over time they excavate dirt/sand while creating and expanding their tunnel system underneath driveways, sidewalks and homes foundations. When doing this they erode the support for sidewalks, interior garage pads and driveways which in turn leads to them settling and cracking.
Food losses that may occur with the presence of a pavement ant infestation may result in several hundreds of dollars of food having to be thrown out. In addition to spreading diseases, food contamination, and food losses, if pavement ants feel threatened, they have the potential to sting.
