About Ant Activity

Ants are fascinating creatures, known for their intricate social structures and exceptional strength. They belong to the family Formicidae and are one of the most successful species on earth, with over 12,000 identified species. Ants can be found in almost every terrestrial habitat due to their adaptive abilities. They are well-known for their cooperative behavior, complex colonies, and ability to modify their habitats. Each colony operates as a superorganism, with each ant performing specific roles – from workers and soldiers to the queen. Their colonies can range from a few dozen in a small, natural cavity to highly organized colonies that may occupy large territories and consist of millions of individuals. Ants have been admired for their diligence and teamwork, and they continue to be a subject of interest in various fields such as biology, psychology, and even robotics.

The Ants in Meridian

Meridian, Idaho, is home to a diverse range of ant species. The most common ants found in this region include Argentine ants, little black ants, carpenter ants, odorous ants, and pavement ants. Each species has unique characteristics and behaviors. For instance, the odorous house ant has a sweet tooth and often nests between walls or under sinks. Pavement ants, native to Meridian, are dark brown and a common sight in the area. However, these tiny creatures can become a significant problem when they invade our spaces, attracted by different types of food ranging from sugar and sweets to greasy or salty items. Hemi Pest Control offers comprehensive prevention and removal treatments for these pesky invaders.

Odorous House Ants

In Meridian, Idaho

As we approach spring in Meridian, the Odorous House Ant (OHA) emerges as the most common pest in the region. These ants, which are small and dark brown to black in color, invade homes throughout Meridian and the surrounding areas. They are named for the foul, coconut-like odor they emit when crushed. Unlike the destructive carpenter ants, OHAs pose no significant harm to structures. However, they can become a nuisance due to their preference for nesting in exterior walls of buildings and their fondness for sweets, often leading them to invade kitchens in search of sugar or fruit. 

Call Hemi Pest Control today if you expect these critters are starting to cause issues in your home.
