• Ants appearing repeatedly in your kitchen
• Ant trails along countertops
• Ants around sinks
• Ants around bathrooms
• Ants near windows
• Ants around doors
• Ants coming from cracks in walls
• Ants appearing around plumbing
• Large numbers of ants appearing at once
• Winged ants inside your property
• Ants returning after being sprayed

If ants continue to return, professional ant extermination in Brooklyn may be necessary.

 

Common Ants Found in Brooklyn, NY

Different types of ants behave differently and may require different pest control strategies.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants are among the most important ants to identify around a structure because they excavate galleries in wood for nesting.
They may be associated with moisture-damaged or compromised wood and can sometimes establish nests inside buildings.
Signs of carpenter ants can include:

• Large ants
• Ant activity around damp wood
• Ants emerging from walls
• Sawdust-like material
• Ant activity around windows or doors
• Winged carpenter ants

If you suspect carpenter ants in Brooklyn, Empire Pest Control can inspect the property and determine whether treatment is appropriate.

Pavement Ants

Pavement ants are small ants that may establish colonies around foundations, sidewalks, cracks, and other protected areas.
They can enter buildings while searching for food.

Odorous House Ants

Odorous house ants are small ants that can establish colonies around or inside structures.
They may create visible trails as they travel to food and moisture sources.

Other Ant Species

There are numerous ant species that may be encountered around residential and commercial properties.
Proper identification is important because ant species can differ in nesting behavior and treatment requirements.
Not sure what type of ant you're seeing? Empire Pest Control can help identify the problem.
