Ant Problems...
Ants come in more than twenty
thousand household varieties and have many tastes. Depending on the species and
their age, they will seek out sweets, grease, starch or protein. Some varieties
even feed on other insects. From the small brown pavement ant to the destructive
carpenter ant, they can invade your house, looking for food, or leave unsightly
ant hills in your lawn. Carpenter ants even burrow through your woodwork or
trees causing expensive damage. Every species of ant has a waxy outer coating
that protects them from dehydration.
To effectively control ants in the home or garden, their nest must be destroyed.
Finding the nest is not always an easy task. For most varieties of ants you can
locate their nests by following their trails. A sure sign that you have
carpenter ants is little piles of sawdust near the baseboards. Once you have
found their nest, there are many different treatments available from natural
solutions to chemical treatments.
