The Types of Ants in Wyoming
Wyoming Pavement Ants
Pavement Ants are the small black ants you see in your kitchen, and their colony responsibility is to forage for food, build the nest, and to care for the young. Pavement ants are found outdoors under stones, patio blocks, and in cracks; they can be found inside your home underneath floorboards or in the walls. Pavement ants will feed on practically anything consumed by humans and greasy foods are their favorite. Ants can become a nuisance when large groups enter your home.
Wyoming Carpenter Ants
Carpenter Ants, also known as sugar ants, are some of the largest ants you will see in Wyoming. These ants like to build their nests inside of dead, damp wooded areas. Despite the fact that they do not consume wood (like termites do) Carpenter Ants are known for hollowing out wood stumps outdoors; they can be found indoors infesting wooden buildings or structures. Carpenter Ants can become a real problem as they can cause major structural damage to a home’s support beams or other important wooden building materials.
Ants Identification and Pest Control Facts
An important aspect of getting rid of ant infestations is knowing how ants behave. Here are some things you should know about ants:
- Entry: Ants can get into your home through miniscule cracks in search of food, water, or shelter.
- Scent Trails: Ants secrete pheromones from their body in order to impact other ants to signal other ants to follow their trail to food, and can also be used to mark their territory to other species.
- Ant Colony Size: Ant Colonies, also called formicary, can vary in size very dramatically from one type of ant to another. Ant colonies can reach numbers of hundreds of thousands, and whole colonies can quickly relocate if threatened.
- Do it Yourself Ant Pest Control Approaches: Many DIY ant pest control Wyoming methods only work on the ants that you can physically see. Additionally, home remedies do not account for the face that different types of ant infestations require different methods of treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions About Ant Pest Control
Many people notice ant problems in the kitchen, primarily around the sink, on the countertops, and inside the cabinets. To get rid of these ants, you first need to identify which ants you have. Once you know the type of ants you're dealing with, you can determine the next course of action. Some ants are easily removed with bait traps. However, many types of ants in Wyoming require more drastic measures. In these cases, you will need to locate the colony and use the appropriate pesticide to treat it directly.
Unfortunately, carpenter ants are some of the most difficult ant infestations to eradicate completely. Carpenter ants typically have one primary colony, known as the parent colony. You may find additional colonies throughout your home or yard; these are called satellite colonies. To completely remove the carpenter ants, you must find and treat the parent colony directly, then deal with the satellite colonies.

In each case, our expert technicians can make a thorough inspection, outline treatment options, and then give you an estimated timeline.
