What Do Pavement Ants Look Like?
Pavement ants are relatively small, measuring 2 to 3 mm long. They are dark brown to black in color with light striations on the head and thorax. They have 12-segmented antennae with a three-segmented club. Pavement ants get their name because they make nests in or under cracks in pavement, sidewalks, and driveways.

What are the Signs of a Pavement Ant Infestation?
Pavement ants primarily nest outdoors underneath or beside sidewalks, patios, and driveways. Since they live near homes and buildings, pavement ants often make their way indoors in search of food. Dirty dishes, pet food, food scraps, and garbage will attract pavement ants into your home. One of the common signs of pavement ants is small piles of soil along or in the cracks of pavement.
What Problems Do Pavement Ants Cause?
Pavement ants are primarily a nuisance pest. They will contaminate food as they forage indoors in large numbers. Pavement ants are very docile and rarely bite or sting. Over time, these ants can excavate and undermine the soil underneath concrete slabs, curbs, and driveways, causing them to sag and sink to a point where they may need to be repaired.
