• Entry: Ants can enter through even the tiniest cracks, seeking water and sweet or greasy food substances in the kitchen pantry or storeroom areas.
   
• Scent trails: Ants leave an invisible chemical trail which contains pheromones for others to follow once they locate the food source.
   
• Nest locations: They can nest about anywhere in and around your house; in lawns, walls, stumps, even under foundations.
   
• Colony size: Can number up to 300,000 to 500,000 and whole colonies can uproot and relocate quickly when threatened.
   
• Colony Lifetime: A colony can live a relatively long lifetime. Worker ants may live seven years and the queen may live as long as 15 years.
