About Pavement
Tiny and reddish-brown, pavement ants (Tetramorium caespitum) build extensive underground colonies often found in cracks of sidewalks and driveways, particularly common in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood. These ants can invade homes searching for food, and their colonies frequently engage in aggressive battles, creating visible piles of soil near entry points. Managing them early helps prevent infestations in your Columbia or Spring Hill home.
