Pharaoh ants are small, light-brown, and yellow or orange ants that are notorious for their aggressive nature and ability to invade buildings. Pharaoh workers are slow but when they do move, they will carry a large load of items back to the nest.

Pharaoh worker size is about 1.5 to 2 mm long. Colonies can number from a few hundred to more than 30,000 ants. Pharaoh ants have three stages of life – egg, larvae, and pupae. The adults lay eggs on a specific substrate where they hatch and become larvae after two days. Larvae then develop into pupae before transforming into adults that go out on raids for food.

Though they may not be the most dangerous of insects, an infestation can be an extreme annoyance and a serious problem for those in the food and medical industries. For these reasons, it’s best to keep them from entering your home altogether.

The Pharaoh ant is an invasive species that can be found all over the world. They thrive in warm, wet climates, so they are often found near drains or other areas with standing water. Pharaoh ants can also enter your home through cracks or gaps around windows or doors. In addition to a home invasion, Pharaoh ants can also invade a business when they have access to deliveries of food or products.

Pharaoh ants like to eat a variety of things. They enjoy sweet substances, such as honey or syrup, but they also consume meats, fats, greases, oils, cheeses, and other dairy products. These ants are commonly referred to as sugar ants because they love sugar-based foods. Since Pharaoh ants love sugar-based foods, it’s important for businesses to store food in containers with tight seals and don’t allow any crumbs on tables or floors.

Pharaoh ants are dangerous because they will eat anything. These tiny insects are particularly dangerous in hospitals because they can also spread diseases, like salmonella and typhoid fever, and feed on the injury of a patient. Pharaoh ants can also cause a significant amount of damage to homes and businesses as well, due to their ravenous appetite for all kinds of food items and their ability to chew through just about any surface material.

Pharaoh ants are very small and will enter your home through cracks and crevices. They will forage for water, food, sugar, and greasy materials. An infestation can be difficult to eradicate. If you notice that they are moving around your house or garage, it’s time to call a professional.
