Ants Control Pharaoh ants are a common species of ant that can be found throughout North America. They have a dark brown or black body with a yellowish-red abdomen. Like other types of household ants, the length of a pharaoh’s ant worker is 2 mm, and that of a queen is 4 mm. Pharaoh ant’s colonies are small, containing between 50-200 workers. Pharaoh’s ant colonies contain queens, males, laborers, eggs, larvae, and pupae. Their colonies can grow very quickly in as little as 5 weeks from egg to adult. The queen usually lives up to 3 years. During that time she will lay up to 150 eggs per day on average. Pharaoh ants don’t occupy one specific area for very long. They move from place to place, usually within walls or floors or under floors. They feed on sugar, grease, oils, dead insects, etc. This means that they’re likely to be found near your kitchen or pantry areas. In addition to eating food, these ants will feed on just about anything else they can find. Unlike most other species of ant (including fire ants), they don’t bite. However, their sting is still painful if you happen to get one on your skin! If you see these small insects in your home, you should contact a professional Pharaoh Ant control right away to prevent them from spreading to other areas of your house.
