What Are Moisture Ants?
There are many types of ants found in the Pacific Northwest – moisture ants being one of the most common. An abundance of rain and moisture in the ground throughout the year makes for an ideal environment for moisture ants to live.
Moisture ants vary in color from yellow to brown and can be anywhere from 1/8 to 1/5 of an inch long.
Moisture ants are typically found in damp, enclosed areas such as moist and rotten wood. After wood begins to decay, moisture ants establish their colony inside the rotting wood and do not venture far from the home they have claimed.
What Causes A Moisture Ant Infestation?
Since this pest is seeking moist wood to nest, a moisture ant infestation is typically a sign of a larger problem. If you have moisture ants in your home – your house may have structural damage that should be inspected by professionals. The presence of moisture ants will contribute to the damage done to your home.
Moisture ant colonies can grow quickly without being noticed. Dealing with a colony of ants inside your home can lead to more problems as ants are known to attract other pests.
If you think you may have a moisture ant infestation, you should contact a professional pest control company like Pest Pros to address the issue as soon as possible.
How To Identify A Moisture Ant Infestation
If your home has ever experienced structural damage, plumbing issues, or flooding, it may be susceptible to a moisture ant infestation – especially if the damage was not properly dealt with. The best way to prevent moisture ants from infesting your home is to ensure your home’s infrastructure is safe and sound.
It is common for homeowners to first identify issues with their home’s structure before finding a moisture ant infestation. However, if you see an increase in ants inside or around the perimeter of your home, you should always contact a pest control company who are experts in ant pest control.
