Where to Find Them on Your Property?
You can find Pharaoh Ants in places like wall voids, in furniture, behind baseboards, under floors and between linens. These ants can stray up to 148 feet away from their nest when searching for food or water, and will leave trails to their food or water sources. Pharaoh Ants can forage during the day and the night, and will use electrical or telephone wires as a highway system to travel inside structures.
