WHY STAMFORD?

Area Conditions that Support This Critical Pest

Ants find their way into millions of American homes each year, and the pharaoh ant is no exception. The pharaoh ant is 2 mm long, golden in color, but can sometimes appear to be translucent. These ants are known for invading homes around the nation, including those in Connecticut, and are one of the top pest threats found in Stamford. If you've spotted pharaoh ants in your home, there is no need to panic because they can be controlled. Pharaoh ants can be found nesting in all sorts of peculiar places, including under plants, inside of appliances and heating units, in stored clothing, between walls and just about anywhere else. Your Stamford home could become overrun by these tiny invaders in a short period of time, and unlike other ants, their nests are built based on conditions such as temperature and light, rather than access to food. Pharaoh ants prefer areas with high temperatures and humidity, and while this may not sound like Connecticut, they are still a major threat in our state. By building their nests inside of warm areas within the home, including within electronics, they are able to create ideal conditions for themselves, even in cooler states. Doing this can lead to electrical problems and fires within your home, resulting in a lot more than you were expecting when you first saw a few ants trickling in.
