Damage to Property and Health Risks
Most of the time ants are just a nuisance, but they can contaminate food. A full infestation can destroy food in your home and can destroy crops and food for animals and that can harm livestock.
Ants like fire ants normally set up their nests outdoors, but if disturbed can swarm and they can sting and post a health risk. Carpenter ants destroy wood and can weaken the structures in your home.

Know the Types of Ants
There are numerous species of ants scattered across the world. Some of the more common ant species in the U.S. include:
- Carpenter ants – these ants do not eat wood, but they like to live in it. They burrow in and set up elaborate nests that can significantly damage wood structures.
- Pharaoh ant – an ant found in Africa that really loves to create nests indoors. They reproduce fast and can infest an entire office building in a matter of weeks. They eat nearly any kind of food and will even destroy fabrics like silk and rayon.
- Thief ant – these ants love to eat proteins like meat, blood, fats, other insects, etc. Once they end up inside a home they are hard to find because they are extremely small, meaning they can also get into areas that other ants do not and travel far to find food.
Stop Ants from Returning
You can prevent ants from returning by using a number of methods:
- Store food in safe and secure containers
- Sweep up food and dirt
- Remove unused pet food
- Seal up access points and holes
