Ants are a part of life no matter where you live. They can range from simple nuisance ants that invade your kitchen, to carpenter ants that can cause major damage to your house, or even painful stinging swarms of fire ants. With over 1,000 different species of ants in North America, there is no one solution to rid your house of them.

There are three kinds of ants in a colony: The queen, the female workers, and males.
