Pharaoh Ant (Larva/Pupa)

Nests in inaccessible, warm, humid areas such as wall voids, under floors, and near pipes in residential and commercial buildings.

Highly omnivorous, consuming fats, proteins, and sugars; often found feeding on sweets, grease, and even medical waste in hospitals.

Colonies are polygynous (multiple queens) and spread through budding rather than swarming. They are primarily nocturnal or active in dark, hidden areas.

Significant risk as a structural and medical pest; known to transmit pathogens like Staphylococcus and Salmonella, particularly in hospital settings.
