They are wingless except for fertile adults, which often form large mating swarms. Most ants feed on sweets, except for carpenter ants, which prefer protein. On Long Island NY you may see some of these ants…<\/p>\n
Pavement Ant: These are small brown ants that are often found on the pavement. They nest in cement cracks and can look for food up to 30 feet away from their nests.<\/p>\n
Sugar or Odorous House Ant: These ants have an odor if crushed and are hard to get rid of. You usually find these in your kitchen! The colonies are very large with multiple queens.<\/p>\n
Carpenter Ant: These are the largest ant that makes tunnels in rotting trees or wood, but will nest in any hollow area that is near their food or water source. These ants do not eat wood, like most people think, but hollow out wood wherever there is excessive moisture, like bathrooms, kitchens, porches, to make their nests. These ants cause the most property damage, excluding termites, than any other pest.<\/p>\n
Ways to prevent Ants from invading your home: Avoid letting these ants enter your home by keeping all your kitchen surfaces clean and don’t leave food out.
