Toronto's Ant Population
A colony typically has one queen who begins the nest under a rock, in a tree hole or a tunnel in a tree. She will lay a few eggs which will hatcht o be the first workers of the colony. These are the smallest ants of the colony called Minims. These minims are given the task of foraging for food and feeding the queen and any young she produces.
Ants As Social Insects
These are the largest ants that are invading homes. They seek food and harborage. They are a wide spread pest problems, spanning across North America. Carpenter ants will travel great distances in their quest for food for the queen. They have been noted foraging up to 750 feet from the nest!
Different Sizes of Ants
Carpenter ants live both outdoors and indoors in moist, decaying or hollow wood. They create "galleries" into the wood grain to make passageways sot hey can move throughout the nest. Certain parts of a typical Toronto home, such as the windows, roof eaves, decks and porches, are more likely to be infested by Carpenter Ants because these areas are most vulnerable to moisture
We had huge black ants crawling all over our kitchen. My wife thought they were coming out of everywhere and my daughter was scared of the ones with wings. I called Paolo when I couldn't stand my two ladies being upset anymore. Paolo explained everything very thoroughly, espcially in relation to how the chemicals would affect my family.
