Observation
Remotus’ sharp vision catches even the smallest threats. Ghost ants are tiny, almost translucent insects with a dark head and pale, milky-white abdomen. They’re known for their erratic movement patterns and are often found in kitchens and bathrooms, attracted by sweet foods and moisture. Remotus suggests you watch for their telltale trails along countertops, walls, and inside cabinets.
Outlook
Remotus is on high alert with these ants. Although ghost ants are small, they can form large colonies and quickly spread throughout your home. They may not be dangerous, but their presence is a sign of potential moisture issues or food sources that need to be addressed. Remotus recommends immediate action, as effective treatment typically takes several weeks and involves a combination of baiting, insecticide application, and follow-up inspections to ensure the colony is fully eradicated.
Gateways
Remotus knows how these ants infiltrate. Ghost ants often enter through cracks in walls, around windows, and doors, or even by following utility lines into your home. They can also hitch a ride on plants or other items brought indoors. Remotus advises sealing these entry points and keeping food tightly sealed to keep these pests at bay.
