Ant Control

Ant Control

One of the most common types of pests you may discover on your lawn or in your home in central Florida is an ant. You might come across several kinds of ants in Florida lawns, and some are more harmful than others. Here’s what you need to know about ants in Florida, as well as what you can do about them.

What Are Some Characteristics of Ants in Florida?

The most common types of ants you will generally find are the yellow meadow ant (Lasius flavus) and the pavement ant (Tetramorium caespitum). These types of ants are generally harmless to your lawn, although you may find them or their nests unsightly and want to get rid of them. Black field ants (Formica spp.) can be a different story, however.

How Can Ants Hurt You and Your Lawn?

The problem with field ants is that they form much larger and more complex colonies and nests in your lawn, which can indeed do damage to the grass. If you’re seeing major ant nests in your yard, it may be time to contact a professional for ant treatment.

Furthermore, whether you have small brown ants like the meadow or pavement ant or large black ants like field ants, if you let them proliferate enough, they will probably end up in your home. This can be a problem as they can get into your kitchen or other areas and possibly spread disease while making your home appear generally unsanitary.
