Pavement ants – habitat & prevention
Habits
These ants will eat almost anything, including insects, seeds, honeydew, honey, bread, meats, nuts and cheese.
Habitat
These ants live in or under pavement cracks.
Threats
These ants do not pose a public health risk, but they can contaminate food and should be avoided.
Pavement Ants can be found in all 50 states.
Prevention
Eliminate standing water. Pests, such as ants, are attracted to moisture. Keep tree branches and other plants cut back from the house and make sure that there are no cracks or little openings around your house. Sometimes pests use these to get into your home. Make sure that firewood and building materials are not stored next to your home. Pests like to build nests in stacks of wood.
