Carpenter ants – our specialty
Carpenter ant, pharaoh ant, pavement ant, brown ant or even red ant, there are a multitude of ant species. They all have their own unique characteristics in terms of appearance, habitat and behavior. It is therefore important to differentiate them in order to determine the right way to get rid of them.
What do carpenter ants look like?
The carpenter ant is a relatively large ant, it can grow up to 25mm, about 5 times the size of a sidewalk ant (“pavement ant”) or a typical black ant. As its name suggests, the carpenter ant makes its nest from wood. Unlike termites, it does not eat wood, but digs it to create “galleries” or passageways within and around the colony.
- Generally speaking, the body color is black with tints of red to yellow.
- It measures approximately 25 mm (the workers measure from 3 to 13 mm).
- The body forms a single segment between the thorax and the abdomen.
- The upper part of the thorax is smooth and round.
- The body of a carpenter ant constricts to a slim waist, making the part between the thorax and abdomen, in a way, like a knot.
Carpenter ants are known to infest wooden structures and they are very common in the Laurentians.
Other worker ants, which can be confused with carpenter ants, have a thicker size (two knots). In addition, a carpenter ant’s thorax is smooth and round, while other species have a bumpy thorax.
Mice, flying squirrels, squirrels …
Rats and mice are very common rodents, they are, at first glance, harmless. However, they like to invade homes and businesses to make their nests, find food and protect themselves from the cold. In doing so, they become a real plague as they gnaw at anything they find, including electrical cables, which can lead to a risk of fire and a lot of damage.
Rodent droppings are also a problem, because in addition to giving off odors, they can block the ventilation system, causing humidity problems and damaging the health of occupants. In addition, rodents that feed in sewers carry several dangerous diseases.
These rodents can easily fit into a hole as small as the size of a twenty-five or even a dime. They are social animals, meaning they like to live in groups, but they are best known for their very rapid reproductive capacities.
Spiders
Different from insects, spiders are very common. They exist in several species which vary in color, size and sometimes in lifestyle. Many people fear it, but in truth very few species are poisonous and bite.
Spiders live mainly outdoors, where they weave their webs or set other traps for their prey. However, some species live indoors, in attics and basements, for example. Their presence may indicate another problem, such as an insect nest.
Silverfishes
Silverfish are nocturnal insects, which is why they can easily go unnoticed for years to come. However, they multiply quickly, and they can wreak havoc on your food stores, office supplies, or libraries. Attracted by humidity, you will most often find them in the kitchen, bathroom or even the basement, it is a small wingless insect with long antennae at the end of its head and three long hairs at the end of its head. back of his body. It is between ¼ to ½ inch long and moves quickly on the ground.
They feed on starch, crumbs or dead insects, but also on paper, tape or glue, which can damage wallpaper, books or fabrics. Especially since their successive moults, like their excrement, can leave stains.
