Why Ant Infestations Matter

Food contamination & hygiene risks

Ants carry bacteria and can contaminate food and surfaces. Commercial kitchens are especially vulnerable.

Structural & property damage

Some ants (e.g. carpenter ants) burrow in wood, insulation or walls, weakening structure over time.

Rapid colony growth

Ants follow pheromone trails; once a trail to food or water is found, many ants return repeatedly, increasing infestation.

Damage to reputation / compliance

For businesses, ant presence can breach health codes and damage customer trust.
