The Risks Of Ants
The most obvious result of an ant invasion is finding a bunch of tiny ants in your food, which is enough of a consequence as it is. However, ants have other hazards that can make ant infestations just as worrisome as other St. Charles pest invasions. Worker ants are constantly foraging for food sources that they can lead the rest of their colony to by leaving a trail of pheromones, invisible chemicals that only ants can smell. They are willing to march through anything in order to get to that food, and that can mean walking through some nasty things. When ants walk through garbage dumps and other bacteria-filled places, they naturally accumulate those harmful pathogens and can then transmit the bacteria to anything they walk on afterwards, like our countertops and food items. Ants can even transmit diseases to humans, as multiple food-borne diseases can come from consuming anything that ants have invaded. The most common ant-related diseases include salmonella, E. coli, and staph. If you or anyone in your home begins to feel ill after eating anything, please seek medical attention immediately.
In addition to the less obvious risks of ant infestations, these pests have defense mechanisms just like most insects. Depending on the species, ants can bite or sting anyone who touches them or gets a little too close for their liking. Ants are territorial, much like wasps and bees, so anyone who disturbs their anthill by kicking it or knocking more dirt into it will be met with an army of angry ants soon after. They use pheromones to communicate, so they will alert the rest of their colony to attack the new enemy. Ant bites and stings generally do not have lasting consequences, and the red welts often go down after a few days. However, some ants inflict more pain than others, and the two most common species are fire ants and bullet ants. These ants are not to be messed with, as their bites and stings can cause immediate swelling and sharp pain on the areas. They have even been known to cause anaphylaxis, an immediate allergic reaction that can become life-threatening if the shock is not treated immediately.
Ant infestations are not an event to just brush off as something that happens to every homeowner. While these invasions are certainly some of the most common, that fact does not lessen the damage and risks that ants bring to any St. Charles home they invade.
