Did You Know?
Back in June 2014, Global News reported that a Newmarket family was dealing with an aggressive ant species not native to North America – European Fire Ants. This species has since been spotted along Lake Ontario with sightings in Toronto and Whitby.
Common Toronto Ants
Carpenter Ants
Size: 6 to 25 mm long.
Colour: Mainly black. Sometimes red and black, solid red or brown.

Fire Ants
Size: 1.6 to 5 mm long.
Colour: Reddish brown with a dark coloured stinger.
Behaviour: Fire ants are highly protective over the nests and will attack people and animals. Their sting feels like a wasp sting and can be painful.
Pavement Ants
Size: 2.5 to 3 mm long.
Colour: Darkish brown to black with lighter coloured legs.
Behaviour: Pavement ants nest outdoors under flat stones, sidewalks, concrete slabs, and along curbing. Invading businesses in search of food, they nest in walls, insulation and floors.
Pharaoh Ants
Size: 1 to 2 mm long.
Colour: Varies from golden yellow to reddish.
Behaviour: A small ant species, pharaoh ants typically nest in warm, hard to reach areas such as walls, splashboards of kitchen countertops, and in-wall sockets.
Red Harvester Ants
Size: 4.5 to 13 mm long.
Colour: Orange to red or brownish black.
Behaviour: Red harvester ants gather seeds as their primary food source. They clear large circular areas around the entrance hole of their nests in yards.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why Should I Hire An Ant Exterminator To Get Rid of Ants?
Helping homeowners get rid of ants for over 90 years, Terminix Canada succeeds where many fail with their ineffective, DIY ant repellents.
Homemade Toronto ant killers and DIY ant traps aren’t nearly as effective as our solutions. We use professional ant baits, ant traps, gel-based ant pesticides, and interior/exterior chemical spray.
In What Months Are Toronto Ants Active?
Pharaoh ants are active year-round whereas carpenter ants are active in February, March, April, May, June, July, August and September. Pavement ants appear the least for a period of six months from April to September. Fire ants’ peak activity takes place in spring and fall while red harvester ants typically swarm in late summer.
What Problems Can Toronto Ants Cause?
It all depends on the species. The most destructive is the carpenter ant. If infestations go untreated, they can cause structural damage to your home over time since they nest in wood. If you’re wondering how to get rid of carpenter ants, wonder no more and call Terminix Canada. Elsewhere, the tiniest species, pharaoh ants, build nests in high-traffic areas like the walls, cabinets, and refrigerator insulation in your kitchen. As for red harvester ants, they excavate bare areas of soil in your backyard. Ultimately, all ants are searching for food. Therefore, these pests make your food preparation spaces unsanitary. That’s why Toronto ant removal is imperative.
Why Do I Have Toronto Ants In My Home?
Ants are always hunting for food sources. Whether it’s a mere pet food crumb, a rogue piece of fruit or a dirty kitchen countertop, ants will breach the tiny gaps in your home to find their way to food.
How Do I Stop Ants From Coming In My House?
There are many ant prevention methods out there. Things you can do everyday include keeping home surfaces clean, storing food in sealed containers, and sealing cracks and gaps in your foundation.

Our Customers Drive Us To Succeed
Have been using Terminix Canada for a few years now. We live in a rural neighbourhood, so we get a lot of weird critters here. They have gone above and beyond several times for us and have been so helpful with offering advice and even extra check-ups. Will definitely continue to use them.
I began using Terminix Canada last June hoping they would be able to control a horrible exterior spider problem we experience every summer, common with living by the lake. I was amazed at how well it worked! Never, in 35 years, have our windows and property been so clear of webs and spider droppings throughout the summer. I use them regularly now. Their products work for a whole range of pests, and their technicians are knowledgeable, thorough and personable. I can’t recommend them highly enough!
The people here are outstanding! They explained what needed to be done and why. They even listed things out in order of importance. Once the job was scheduled, they wasted no time getting the work complete.
