Pharaoh Ants Exterminator | Control & Removal Service

Pharaoh Ants

Pharaoh Ants are a notorious indoor pest found throughout Tucson and Southern Arizona, particularly troublesome in healthcare facilities, food service areas, and residential homes. These small ants are known for their ability to spread rapidly and establish colonies in diverse environments, making them a persistent issue once they invade. Bill’s Home Service provides targeted control measures to effectively manage Pharaoh Ant populations and mitigate their impact.

Identification

  • Color: Light yellow to red, with darker abdomens.
  • Size: Very small, typically about 1/16 inch long.
  • Body: Thin and delicate with a distinct two-segmented waist.

Behavior 

Pharaoh Ants are known for their complex social structure and are capable of creating huge colonies with thousands of individuals and multiple queens. They are adept at finding food sources and exploiting them, often creating trails that are visible to the human eye. Unlike some other ant species, Pharaoh Ants prefer indoor habitats, which provide the warm and humid environment they thrive in.

Threats 

Pharaoh Ants pose significant health risks due to their ability to spread pathogens, including Salmonella and Streptococcus. They are particularly dangerous in hospitals where they can access sterile areas and equipment. In homes, they contaminate food and can be difficult to eradicate due to their tendency to split off and form new colonies when threatened

Control Measures 

Effective management of Pharaoh Ants involves:

  • Hygiene and Sanitation: Maintaining cleanliness to reduce food and water sources available to ants.
  • Baiting Strategies: Using non-repellent insecticidal baits that ants carry back to the colony, which is critical for targeting the entire colony including the queens.
  • Professional Assessment: Regular inspections by pest control professionals to identify and treat infestations early.

Bill’s Home Service specializes in advanced pest control solutions for handling Pharaoh Ants, using strategies that are both effective and sensitive to the needs of the environment and the health of residents.
