Pavement Ants
Pavement ants (Tetramorium caespitum) get their name from making nests in the cracks of pavement, under cement, around driveways, sidewalks and patios. Their ant colonies average 3,000 to 4,000 members and have several queens. Pavement ants are typically found in the eastern states as well as California and Washington.
The Pavement ant will eat just about anything and is very visible around the outside of the home.
Native to Europe and introduced to North America in the 1700’s, Pavement ants are aggressive, attacking other colonies and battling it out on sidewalks.
In summer, the ants dig sand out from in-between cracks in the pavement to provide ventilation for their nests.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants have strong appetites and will make their way inside the home to find more food; spraying pesticides won’t keep these ants away! Baits are more effective for Pavement ants; plus, they will take the bait they have eaten back to the colony and share it with the rest of their caste.
