Pharaoh ant

Pharaoh ants are among the smallest species of ant in Quebec. They were introduced in Quebec many years ago. Pharaoh ants cannot survive winter out in the cold, so most of their nests can be found indoors. Pharaoh ant colonies have multiple nests and multiple queens. Mature Colonies can grow to numbers of several hundred thousand ants. Pharaoh Ant Problems start whenever they are introduced to a building by food items or diverse objects. The extermination of pharaoh ants is accomplished through an intensive baiting program.
