These dark brown or black colored ants tend to nest in sidewalk and pavement cracks. Find out how we treat them.
How to Tell If You Have Pavement Ants
If you’ve noticed small dirt mounds that look like tiny volcanoes erupting in and around your sidewalks, driveway, or other paved areas, then you probably have pavement ants. These ants are known to nest in masonry cracks and are often seen marching together when they set out to find food.
Why They’re a Problem
Pavement ants are not a threat to people or pets, but over time they can damage masonry structures, particularly materials like asphalt and concrete, by eroding these materials with their constant activity. Some homeowners also do not like the unsightly dirt mounds they create around their nests.
Why Sprays & Ant Baits Likely Won’t Work
Pavement ants can live inside your home, but most prefer to nest outside in the cracks of masonry materials. This makes them particularly hard for homeowners to control, as sprays can wash away in the rain and baits can get wet, rendering them ineffective.
How We Treat for Them
Instead of throwing away money on sprays and baits that probably won’t take care of your pavement ant problem, contact us to find out how our professional pest control service can help.
