Pharaoh Ants - Magna Pest Solutions

What are Pharaoh Ants

Pharaoh ants are a significant pest in homes, known for their potential to transmit diseases and cause property damage. These tiny red ants form large colonies that can be difficult to control once they establish themselves indoors, often nesting in hidden areas like walls or behind appliances.

Unlike acrobat ants or carpenter ants, which can cause structural damage, pharaoh ants are more notorious for their ability to contaminate food sources and spread bacteria, making them a health risk.

Although they don’t create visible ant mounds or hills like fire ants, encountering these pests indoors is unsettling for homeowners due to their rapid reproduction and persistence.

Effective control requires targeted ant treatments and strategies, like baiting systems, to eradicate the entire colony.
