We’ve all had it happen. You go to bed with a sparkling clean kitchen, and the next morning you wake up to find that there has been an invasion (no, not Zombies!)—an invasion of ants! You thought you carefully cleaned up all the evidence from your potato chip spree the night before, but alas, one seemingly harmless crumb escaped your notice and now a whole family of ants has found their way into your kitchen!
Ants can be quite the nuisance and difficult to eradicate. They come in all shapes and sizes. Different varieties include:
Some of the most common ants we deal with are ghost ants and crazy ants. Ghost ants are the smallest structure-infesting ant. They measure only 1/16″ long; that is tiny! They are often mistakenly referred to as sugar ants. True “sugar ants” are actually a relatively large ant. Ghost ants do like to eat “sweets,” but their diet also consists of grease and occasionally insects, living or dead.

Ghost Ants!
Crazy ants are aptly named little guys; they truly make homeowners crazy! They run around in a very haphazard fashion, almost like they are crazy. And they are hard to get rid of once they find their way in to your home.
