Ants



Ants are among the most successful insects and are also among the most common pests in and around the home. They may build nest in the soil, in the open lawn, under concrete slabs, stones or boards, and adjacent to foundation walls, in the walls of the house, or in decaying wood or other cavities.

The most common conflict with man is when ants invade the home in search of food. In doing so they may contaminate food and become pests simply by their presence.
