Did you know ants have been living on this planet for 99 million years ago? There are more than 12,500 of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified. The ants form highly organized colonies and each ant has its own role. From workers, soldiers to drones and queens that keep the colony alive, they collectively work together.
Ants are found almost on every landmass on Earth and it is not surprising to find ants near you and me in our homes in the South Shore and Cape Cod. Carpenter ants which are commonly found in the Cape, often cause the most trouble. They are mostly large black or red ants that you sometimes see living around your home. The reason why they are troublemakers is that they feed on wood and will create a comfortable nesting site out of the wooden structure of your home. As time goes on, they can severely damage the wood in your home causing huge repair costs.
