The Little black ants are also known as Sugar Ants and are very common to the Pacific Northwest. The pesky pests can be very destructive and certainly very annoying. The damages would depend on the type of Ants that have gained entry into the home or place of business. There are folks who may not be sure of the type of ant infestation that has occurred. But have no fear a professional pest control technician will positively identify the little ants with no problem. In this case a homeowner in the Belltown area of downtown Seattle saw an army of ants marching through the kitchen to the pantry. The husband freaked out at seeing so many.  Although the homeowner was quite sure that the pests were Little Black Ants a call was made to a professional Little Black Ant exterminator.

All of which pest control companies get numerous calls on. Yes, there are many types of ants and Ants 101 is about to begin.

Carpenter Ants:

Carpenter ants are very common and alot of people can have Carpenter Ants for years and never know what it is. Because of incorrect assessment of the pesky pests being identified as “just Black Ants" and “ harmless”. Use of social media is so widespread that searching to identify Ants is simple. However if there is no access to computer search then remember an Ant that is larger than 1/4 inch will most likely be a Carpenter Ant.  The ants are a wood destroying ant and can do considerable damage if left unchecked for long periods of time. The ants do not digest the wood, but excavate it to create nests and galleries. Also a Carpenter Ant Infestation can be very costly to a homeowner or business owner.

Moisture Ants:

A Moisture Ant is smaller and much harder to identify and can also be destructive to wood. The moisture ants are like a Carpenter Ant but less destructive. The moisture ants are attracted to rotten and moist wood. The pests are small like a sugar ant and are reddish in color.  The back of the bodies are almost translucent and shaped like a top. When seeing these types of ants be prepared to investigate for water damaged wood.

Pavement Ants:

A very common type of Ant can be found in driveways.  The Pavement Ants are as small as a Sugar Ant or Moisture Ant, but have a very large head and smaller body. Can be found inside the home, but tends to stay low on the ground.  The pavement ants are less of a nuisance because the ants don't spread like a Sugar Ant does. These ants are really easy to get rid of. Pest Control services can get rid of these ants quickly and effectively.

Sugar Ants are difficult to get rid of and also known as little black ants. Just about all owners will deal with sugar ants at some point in the home or businesses.

It's almost Summer time in the Pacific Northwest.  Sugar Ants are among the most common Ant species found in Washington State. The nuisances are commonly found outdoors but the pavement ants can be spotted indoors as well. The small armies of pavement ants can move easily through cracks in the foundations of homes. Once indoors the busy ants go to work building nests. It's a constant search for edibles in kitchens and pantries. Or anywhere else there is access to food. Pavement Ants are not life threatening at all but will contaminate food and dining areas by leaving dirt and bacteria/germs behind on all surfaces.  Over the counter products may not be effective in eliminating the ant infestation. How to get rid of the pesky pests is to call in a professional ant eliminators to get the job done. Seattle and outlying areas are being Infested and need pest control. AMPM Exterminators was recommended highly and the Seattle Pavement Ants infestations were eliminated.

Oh When the ants go marching in:
Pavement ants were named for the tendency to build nests in the soil under the pavement of driveways and sidewalks. Pavement Ants will definitely build colonies under patios and building foundations constructed on concrete slabs. The little ant soldiers will take advantage of cracks in the concrete to get access into homes and structures. Pavement Ants will also build nests in walls and insulation as well as underneath floors. In areas of Washington state, pavement ants can also be found under rocks, leaves,mulch, wood, and other debris in open fields. In the warmer months of Spring and Summer, armies of Pavement ant colonies can definitely  grow in population up to 10,000 members or more. Sobering thought. Yikes send the troops in because this is war. Homes, commercial businesses and apartments in Kirkland, Seattle and surrounding cities are being attacked by Pavement Ants and in dire need of pest control. All customers made AMPM Exterminators the number one choice.

Pavement Ants constantly eating:

The Pavement ants diet includes a wide range of all types of food sources. The little piggie insects are known for eating virtually anything in sight. Pavement ants feed on subterranean termites and other soil-dwelling insects, nuts and seeds, bread, meats, grease, and sweets like honey and sugar. The constant armies of insects can travel as much as 30 feet from the nest to hunt for food. Meanwhile  leaving a chemical trail which leads the entire colony to the food source.

The presence of foraging workers or reproductive swarmers flying around or inside is a strong indicator of a pavement ant infestation during all types of weather and Seasons. Small piles of soil particles that look like sand also indicate the existence of a pavement ant colony, as the insects push dirt and debris out the entrance of the nest as they construct or expand the underground colony. The piles are commonly found straddling cracks in the floor/foundation or driveway/sidewalk. How to get the job done to eliminate the army of pavement ants invading the home or business was to call Call AMPM Exterminators.

Small Ants in House | Getting Rid of Ants Around Houses
Sugar ant control is very much a matter of daily routine during the months when sugar ants are a problem (March through September), particularly in the kitchen.Ants  invade your kitchen cabinets and crawl all over your sweet treats grabbing bits of sugary goodness to take back to their little hillside borrow that leads deep into their nest. The sugar is then distributed to other ants and the queen ant to feed on so she can be nourished and produce more little sugar ants.
Signs of little black sugar ants Infestation

The presence of foraging workers or reproductive swarmers flying around or inside is a strong indicator of a pavement ant infestation, especially during colder months. Small piles of soil particles that look like sand also indicate the existence of a pavement ant colony, as the insects push dirt and debris out the entrance of the nest as they construct or expand
the underground colony. The piles are commonly found straddling cracks in the floor/foundation or driveway/sidewalk.
Health risk Problems Caused by Pavement Ants

While pavement ants are not known to cause structural damage or major health problems, the ease and frequency with which the insects enter homes in Washington State becomes a nuisance to area residents. Because of the ants not being picky about food it is willing to eat almost anything, Pavement ants can contaminate and ruin a lot of food found in pantries. The chemical trails created by foraging pavement ants enable the rest of the colony to locate the food source, resulting in the emergence of
unsightly hordes/trails of ants and causing further contamination. Throughout the year, indoor nests of pavement ants can produce winged reproductives that swarm by windows and other light sources, creating an unwelcome sight and potentially forming new colonies in or in areas around a structure.
Ways to Prevent Sugar Ants from Invading the Home
Older homes seem to attract sugar ants the most because they have more cracks to sneak through, but ants can just as easily find a way into newer homes too. Keeping homes clean is not enough for keeping these tiny insects away.
Sealing  up the foundation and any cracks around windows and doors. Replace decaying wood frames and shingles. Roof is old and damaged, it is best to replace that too.
Spray the foundation with a natural pesticide to help prevent the ants from even thinking about invading your home. Finding sugar ant outside the home or building, destroy it right away to prevent future visitors.
Keep Sugar Ants out of Food Products

Place opened boxed and bagged goods such as cereals, cookies, fruit snacks and chips into sealed containers or bags.
Store flours and sugars in airtight baking storage containers.
Store honeys, syrups and molasses product in the refrigerator and just gently warm them up when you need to use them.
Never leave sticky sugar snacks open on the counter because this will attract them to other food products in your home.
Store breads and baked goods in the refrigerator or bread boxes that seal up.
Wash dishes immediately instead of letting them sit around.
Never dump sugary foods down the garbage shoot in the sink because it will leave a sticky residue and attract ants.
Taking out the trash as soon as its full or right before bedtime can go a long way to preventing ants from crawling into the kitchen.
Never leave sticky foods outside near entry ways that lead into the kitchen.
Keep open sodas, juices, coffees and teas in the refrigerator.
Wiping down kitchen surfaces such as the microwave, stove, refrigerator, counter tops, tables, chairs and floors can keep sticky sweetness away, which helps keep the ants away. 
How to Kill Sugar Ants
The most common ant baits used to get rid of sugar ants are called sweet baits, and the most common ingredient found in sweet ant baits is boric acid, or Borax. Most household ants (pharaoh ants, pavement ants, and little black ants included) are prone to the poison known as Borax. Borax is a mineral mined in the deserts of California, refined and dissolved into all manners of ant bait systems. It is generally non-toxic to humans, though I wouldn’t recommend inhaling or ingesting large amounts of it. It is a slow-acting poison, which means that when the ants eat the bait (usually corn syrup), the poison doesn’t kill the ants right away. The ants take some of the sweet bait back to the colony with them and dispense the poison meal to other ants. This is how colonies of ants are exterminated, and sugar ants are the easiest ants to kill because they’re small, voracious scavengers. If you want to get rid of sugar ants or kill a sugar ant colony quickly, I prefer Terro brand sugar ant baits. You can also find Terro baits an affordable price from Amazon.
Natural Sugar Ant Control
Using vinegar to clean instead of bleach is a good way to naturally control sugar ant invasions. Acetic acid, the acid in vinegar that makes it smell so strong, not only naturally deodorizes (or odorizes, as the case may be), but is one of nature’s most powerful cleaning agents. We recommend using vinegar instead of bleach on How to Clean Things all the time, and nothing can be more repulsive to sugar ants than a little white vinegar. Make sure you use White Vinegar, and not apple cider vinegar or something like that. The less sugar the better.

Ants control service

Little Black Ants Invasion in Seattle Commercial Businesses



Oh when the saints go marching in. Nope, try when the little Black Ants go marching in to Greater Seattle areas. Places like Bellevue, Newcastle, Kirkland, Sammamish and all points North, South, East and West. Pesky pest soldiers marching towards the ideal spots to set up base. Ants are constantly on the move to invade. In this case the Seattle  commercial businesses. The search is on for food, water and nesting areas. Commercial Businesses are in need of a little black ants pest control professional.

Why bother with do it yourself methods:


When there are armies of Ants marching into  businesses, it won't be so easy to get rid of the pests. Sure folks will use do-it-yourself methods and over-the-counter products. Trying to get rid of the ants. But the better way to go would be to contact a Pest Control professional to get rid of the little Black Ants. Three areas in Greater Seattle are being hit hard with ant infestation. Commercial businesses in Bellevue, Kirkland and Sammamish have discovered the problem in the food warehouses. The ant armies populate at very high rate. It was essential to get the professional little black ants eliminators in. The search was on for a reputable pest control service. AMPM Exterminators was the number one choice.

Why so many little Black Ants:

As was stated earlier, little Black ants reproduce at a very high rate. Remember as, kid having watched the pests. Not once thinking about where the ants were going. The daily goal is to find food liquids and sites to set up new nests. The Queen is the deciding factor in setting colony home bases. Oh yes, there can be more than one colony. Just like humans, ants have to eat to survive and keep the offspring nourished. The pesky pests are definitely a nuisance and create havoc. The armies are too huge to battle with over the counter products. Important thing was to positively identify the Ants. The three warehouse owners in Bellevue, Kirkland and Sammamish were desperate to get rid of the little Black Ants in the food warehouses. It was imperative to get help in immediately. Each if the owners chose from doing online searches for a new pest control company. AMPM Exterminators was the choice to bring on the troops. Little Black Ants, bye.


How did this ant issue happen :


Little Black Ants will go marching in from the outdoors when finding entry points. The pests favorite places to get in are through crevices, cracks, gaps and even doors without weather strips. This holds true for both homes and businesses. Like the food warehouse owners in Bellevue, Kirkland and Sammamish.  Locating an ant infestation whether it's inside or outside is the main thing to do to find the nests. Finding the nest
is priority in order to determine where to apply the pesticide treatments and how many sites are infested.
How to get rid of Ants can be a giant headache:


Ant control can be a tedious process and the little Black Ant infestation has nothing to do with how clean or dirty the place is. The property could just be a perfect target for ants. But owners, if the current throbbing headache isn't enough, be aware that in late Spring and early Summer, reproduction begins.  So be on the alert during these Seasons. Huge swarms of winged ants can be seen starting new colonies, even in walls. But also keep in mind that ants can be year round problem.


Prevention tips for commercial businesses:



Kitchens are prime targets due to food sources. Wipe down all countertops and tables. Keep the floors swept and mopped. Don't leave open jars or other containers open.  Garbage cans inside or outside should have lids on it. Clean cupboard shelves and throw out old perishables stored in pantries. All open boxes of dried goods should be put in sealed containers or zip lock bags. The list of preventative things is endless. This will help clean up the scented trails that are left behind. Little Black Ants need to be exterminated. Both owners opted for AMPM Exterminators.

https://youtu.be/yf8dTYJh17s
The owner learned that the infestation was little Black Ants and pest eliminator is the ticket:

It was verified that the food warehouse owners had little black ant Infestations. The war against ant infestation will and can be an ongoing battle. Some of the problems with ant control can be a result of the ant's capabilities. For example, the scent trail does run between colonies and food sources. But also the pheromone trails can lead ants to other established colonies. Which  gives the ants a safe haven from treated nests.
