How to Deal With Ants in Toronto
The key to dealing with an ant infestation is to first understand the different species as each will respond differently.
Trying to get rid of an ant infestation yourself often doesn't solve the problem. However, some recommendations can slow the infestation.
- Store food, such as sugar, salt, etc., in sealed or airtight containers that may attract ants.
- Seal any holes you have in your home to keep ants from spreading.
Common Ants Found in Toronto
Odorous Ants
They are called odorous ants because they release an awful smell of rotten coconut when crushed. They are known to make their nests in homes and in excavated soil, and can live for several years. Odorous ants do not cause structural damage to buildings but can contaminate food.
Color: Dark Brown to Black
Size: 1/6 inch -1/8 inch
Habitat: Their nests are found in cracks and holes where pipes or wires enter the house and in excavated soil.
They are industrious ants that can cause serious damage to your home. Signs of a carpenter ant infestation include sawdust close to or beneath decayed wood.
Color: Reddish Black
Size: 5/8 inches in size
Habitat: Carpenter ants usually build their nests outdoors in decayed wood in trees, tree roots, tree stumps, and logs around the house. Further, they enter properties through cracks or holes where pipes and wires pass through into the house.
Argentine Ants
These ants discharge a stale odour when crushed and can contaminate food, but they don’t pose a danger to health.
Color: Dark brown
Size: 1/4inch - 1-6 inch
Habitat: They harbour colonies in the moist environment near a source of food.
Red Fire Ants
These ants have two nodes on their thorax, making them different from other ant species. The males are usually black; they only come out during mating swarms and die thereafter. When their nest is disturbed, they fight back with a painful sting that causes pain and a burning sensation for ten minutes.
Color: Dark Reddish Brown
Size: 1/8-3/8 inches long
Habitat: Fire ants create nests outdoors in open sunny areas or in the soil near the foundation of a building. They can gain access to the house through cracks or holes in the building structure and nest under floors and behind walls.
Pavement Ants
These ants, as the name suggests, are called pavement ants because they make their nests inside a pavement or underneath it. They don’t pose a danger to health but can contaminate food.
Color: Darkish Brown to Black
Size: 1/8 inch long
Habitat: They make their nests inside or underneath a pavement through cracks, even into concrete and can damage structures by boring holes through them.
Crazy Ants
These ants got their name from the habit of the forager (worker), how it runs in an uncontrolled manner when searching for food. They don’t pose a danger to health, but if they gain entrance into a building, they can cause damage.
Color: Dark brown to Black in color with a Gray glint.
Size: 1/16-1/8 inch
Habitat: They nest outside in the soil surface underneath an object or close to the foundations of a building, but these ants also run into homes during autumn or shortly after the rainy season because these seasons reduce their food supply.
