Signs of Infestation:
Small amber-colored workers are the best sign of their infestations as they forage along surfaces. Pharaoh ants have a classical chemistry, they have multiple queens and when they are disturbed they move from place to place to move their colonies. Workers grow from eggs to adults in 38 days and may live approximately for nine to 10 weeks. Queen Pharaoh ants are healthy than other Pharaoh ants and can live approximately for four to 12 months, but not male Pharaoh ants as they die within three to five weeks of mating. Pharaoh ants make their new colonies by budding. Budding means that a small strength of workers and a single queen migrate another place from their old colony to start a new colony.
