Pavement Ants in Manasquan, NJ

We responded to a service call for one of our commercial accounts, an office building in Manasquan, NJ. As we made our way to the side of the building, we found a massive pavement ant colony. As their name indicates, pavement ants are found outside under cracks of pavement, under stones, and next to buildings. They are only 1/16-inch long and are distinguished by two spines on the back, two nodes on the petiole, and grooves on the head and thorax.
