ghost ant control
Ghost ants, scientifically known as Tapinoma melanocephalum, are tiny pests that can pack a punch! Characterized by their pale, almost translucent bodies and dark heads, these pests live up to their name. Originating from tropical regions, they have spread globally, thriving in warm, humid climates.
habitat and nesting
Ghost ants prefer moist environments, regularly nesting in kitchens, bathrooms, and around plumbing fixtures. They can also establish outdoor nests in leaf litter, under stones, and potted plants.
These omnivorous ants feed on a variety of foods, including sweets, meats, and even dead insects.
They are most attracted to sugary substances, making them a common sight in pantries and around food scraps.
challenges of ghost ants
Ghost ants are more than just an average nuisance. They can easily find entry into your home through tiny cracks, gaps around windows and doors, and utility lines. Their small size helps them invade kitchens, bathrooms, and other areas, seeking food sources and shelter.
Ghost ants are particularly challenging pests to deal with due to their small size, rapid reproduction, and ability to establish multiple colonies in hidden, hard-to-reach areas. These ants are notorious for infiltrating homes and businesses in search of food, especially sweets, which makes them a persistent nuisance.
