Yes, ants are hard workers, well-organized and very strong, and yes, they can be a nuisance when they enter your home, get into your food, or even damage your house.
There are over 12,000 species of ants around the world. Some live only a few days; some for years or even decades. Usually when we see a few ants in our home it is only a nuisance. When there is a larger infestation, though, it can be a problem. You may find piles of sand or soil — usually along the baseboard — from their excavation. Of course, carpenter ants are a bigger issue.
Carpenter ants do not eat wood, like termites do; they excavate soft or rotten wood to build their home inside your home. If you find carpenter ants at your house, it may be a sign of soft or rotten wood.
Whether ants are making your home their home, or they are taking over your landscaping, give One Service a call. We can help!
