Speaking to Malta Daily, Exterminator Arnold Sciberras revealed the danger that some species of ants can have on Maltese households.
He revealed that in Malta there are over 50 different species of ants and that most are beneficial but that there are 6 species of ants which are considered pests and that 3 of those 6 can cause a lot of trouble.
Arnold stated that these 3 species of ants can damage residential houses by moving around tiles and digging up the house’s grouting which can be a very costly expense and stressful to fix.
There are also those that damage the kitchen area by eating food and even contaminating food and those that obviously can potentially damage one’s garden and small ecosystem.
Arnold ended by revealing that in a year thousands is lost due to damages caused by these minute species of ants.
