Pharaoh Ants: Understanding and Eliminating Persistent Infestations

​

Pharaoh ants are tiny, invasive pests that can quickly infest homes and businesses. Their ability to reproduce rapidly and spread quickly makes them a challenging pest to control.

​

Pharaoh Ant Behavior:

​

• Colony structure: Pharaoh ant colonies are typically small, with around 2,500 workers. However, multiple colonies can exist in close proximity, giving the illusion of a larger super colony.

• Reproduction: Pharaoh ants reproduce by budding, where a portion of the colony splits off to form a new colony. This allows them to spread quickly and easily.

• Multiple queens: Each colony can have multiple queens, which can leave to establish new colonies. This makes it difficult to eliminate an entire infestation.

 

Challenges of Pharaoh Ant Control:

​

• Hidden nests: Pharaoh ants often nest in hidden areas, such as walls, voids, and electrical equipment.

• Rapid reproduction: Their ability to reproduce quickly and easily can make infestations difficult to control.

• Multiple colonies: The presence of multiple colonies can complicate eradication efforts.

 

Effective Pharaoh Ant Control:

​

• Professional pest control: For severe infestations or persistent problems, consulting a professional pest control service is recommended.

• Targeted treatments: Pest control professionals can use targeted treatments to eliminate existing colonies and prevent future infestations.

• Sanitation and cleanliness: Maintaining a clean and sanitary environment can help reduce the attractiveness of your property to pharaoh ants.
