Types of Ants
There are more than 22,000 species of ants on the planet, out of which around 12,500 have been classified and documented. Thankfully for us humans, only a handful of these species prove to be pests in and around the human habitat.
The most common species of ants that act as pests and create a nuisance in and around homes and businesses in North America include the Ghost Ant, the Argentine Ant, the Moisture Ant, the Thief Ant, the Pavement Ant, the Bigheaded Ant, the Pharaoh Ant, the Acrobat Ant, the Carpenter Ant, the Field Ant, the Red Imported Fire Ant, and the Odorous House Ant and the Citronella Ant.
Among these, the Carpenter Ants, Pavement Ants, Odorous House Ants, Red Imported Fire Ants and Argentine Ants are the ones that are most commonly found infesting properties as pests.
ANT AND HEALTH RISKS
Ants may be small in size, but they certainly make up for this with their numbers, and when present in large numbers – some colonies could have several thousand ants – they sure cause a lot of trouble. However, on the disease front, ants are fairly non-threatening as health hazards.
Ants are not recognized as disease vectors and although they move from one surface to another with ease, they are not particularly known to contaminate food items, and even if they do, the impact is not serious enough to affect human health in a serious manner. The main contamination occurs when ants leave their waste behind on food that they come in contact during their foraging exercises.
On the health front, the sting of an ant is probably the scariest aspect of these insects. The sting of an ant can be extremely painful and in some cases, could cause adverse allergic reactions. The worst side effect to an ant sting is an Anaphylactic Reaction. This condition, if left untreated in a timely and correct manner, could even result in the death of the victim.
In some cases, even in the absence of an allergic reaction, the occurrence of several stings could cause severe distress too. Although ant bites usually result in small bumps, some ant stings, like those from Red Imported Fire Ants can be especially painful and leave the victim with raised welts that finally develop into a blister.
Ants and Other Damages
The ability of ants to cause damage on the property front is mainly influenced by the species the ant belongs to. Most ants simply build nests outdoors and their colony usually causes no other significant damage except for the loosening of soil in the immediate area of the nest. In some cases, however, the damages could be more than just that.
Carpenter Ants, for example, burrow into wood and create tunnels in which the colony is eventually located. Although the primary habitat of these ants remains the outdoors, and they prefer damp logs, tree trunks and other such naturally available locations to build their nest, they are also known to dig through the wood found indoors and do the same.
Door and window frames, wooden floorboards and walls, indoor wooden beams, and just about any wooden part of the structure of a house is an easy target for carpenter ants as a nest location. In extreme cases, carpenter ant colonies have even damaged the structure of home permanently, putting the entire house at risk. The repair and maintenance costs result in financial losses too.
Therefore, even though ants are not known for extensive damage on a regular basis, they remain quite capable of it if left unchallenged. This is why ant control is a necessary step as soon as you spot an ant infestation on your property.

Why Hire a Professional Pest Control Agency?
The proper identification of ants is an important step in the extermination of these tiny insects and although people generally believe that DIY techniques are enough to take care of an ant infestation, the truth is that there is a lot more to Ant Control.
Ants are highly developed insects, and their habits and characteristics differ from one species to another. Technicians working for a professional pest control agency like Pest Control Newmarket are well aware of every nuance associated with ants and they ensure that the elimination process matches the species of ants. This keeps the process safe as well as effective.
DIY techniques also leave out the important detail involving the colonies that ants build, and only treating the ants that are visible leaves the main problem of these colonies unresolved. The damage caused by these colonies is also an important aspect associated with ant control, and professional pest control agencies conduct thorough inspections that give property owners a detailed overview of the destruction that an ant infestation may have caused.
Therefore, when looking for a comprehensive solution to an ant problem, a professional pest control agency like Pest Control Newmarket is always a better choice.
