Ants are among nature’s most organized invaders. Found in practically every corner of the world, such industrious insects thrive in Utah’s homes and yards just as they do in deserts or forests. With colonies that number in the thousands, ants coordinate with mechanical accuracy, establishing satellite nests, searching for food, and carving trails, until they swarm your kitchen.
Although the majority of them are merely a nuisance, some species, such as carpenter ants, pose a deeper risk by burrowing into damp wood and gradually weakening structural wooden elements. Once established, they can be infamously challenging to eradicate without targeted and specialized solutions.
