Ghost Ants in Kitchen
Ghost Ants

Ghost ants, also called sugar ants, favour moist environments. They are commonly found in kitchens in places like under the sink, in cabinets, or behind appliances like the refrigerator. This type favours sweet and sugary foods which possess the carbohydrates ghost ants need for their colonies and survival. Ghost ants are roughly 1.3 to 1.5 mm long and are characterized by their dark heads and translucent bodies.

Pharaoh Ants

Pharaoh ants are difficult for property owners to handle. These pests do not react well to pesticides. When sprayed, the ants will break up their colony and scatter to new locations, making them difficult to eliminate. Pharaoh ants will also bite when they feel threatened. They are 2mm long and feature queens who can live between 4 and 12 years. Each ant is recognizable because of its distinctive golden or yellow-brown colour. They are nocturnal and like to eat oily or protein-rich food and will live anywhere that they can form a colony.

Pharaoh Ants in Kitchen
Carpenter Ants in Kitchen
Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants derived their name from their habit of living in wooden structures and trees. They do not eat wood but will carve out an area for a colony with their mouths. Because of this trait, they are frequently mistaken for termites. Carpenter ants can be large, measuring up to 15 or 17 mm in size. They are typically black and reddish-brown and enjoy eating honeydew and dead insects. Because they are attracted to moisture, people will find them in bathrooms, kitchens, and other frequently damp areas.

CRAZY ANTS

Finally, there are crazy ants. Crazy ants have long legs and are typically black or dark red in color. Their name comes from one of their defensive techniques. When the colony is disturbed, they will scatter in all directions, making them difficult to kill. They can be 2 to 3 mm. in length and have long legs and antennae which give them a distinctive appearance. Crazy ants feed on all types of food but prefer sugary materials, so they will frequently live in the same region as ghost ants

Fire Ants in Kitchen
FIRE ANTS (semut api)

Fire Ants are aggressive small ants, around 2 to 6 millimeters in length, with reddish-brown to reddish-black bodies. They have painful and venomous sting. The venom from fire ants bite can cause discomfort, redness, itching and even allergic reaction. Fire ants establish their nests in soil and can often be met in lawns, parks, and similar areas. These ants are highly protective of their territory and will aggressively defend their nests. Because of their aggressive behavior fire ants are considered a pest.One of the most fascinating facts about fire ants is their social structure, which is built around a queen. The size of fire ants queen can be up to 28mm in length, it is the largest ant in the colony and is responsible for laying eggs. A mature fire ant colony can contain hundreds of thousands of worker ants, depending on its age and size. These workers are responsible for maintaining the nest and protecting their queen.To tackle a fire ants problem, you must first understand their habitat and behavior. Identifying their nesting sites and taking necessary precautions can help mitigate their presence. Additionally, some natural predators, such as parasitic flies, can help control fire ants populations

WEAVER ANTS (kerengga)

Weaver ants are bright coloured ants with slender bodies, typically around 4-10 millimetres in length. They usually reside in trees or shrubs, providing protection for certain plants in exchange for sugary food. Weaver ants are not considered pests as they play an important role in pest control and flower pollination. However, their aggressive behaviour can cause discomfort: weaver ants are highly territorial and can bite when defending their nests.

Types of Cockroach

There are four types of cockroaches in Singapore: American (Periplaneta americana), German (Blattella germanica), Australian (Periplaneta australasiae), and brown (Supella longipalpa).

American Cockroach in Kitchen
American Cockroach

The American cockroach is the largest breed, extending to 1.6 inches in length. They are reddish-brown, have tri-segmented bodies, are winged, and have antennae on their heads.

German Cockroach

German cockroaches (Blattella germanica) are small, 1.1–1.6 cm long, brown, with two dark stripes on their back. Common in kitchens and bathrooms, they spread bacteria and allergens. At AJ Jetting, we use NEA-approved gel baits, eco-friendly sprays, sealing entry points, and ongoing monitoring to prevent re-infestation.

German Cockroach in Kitchen
Australian Cockroach in Kitchen
Australian Cockroach

Australian cockroaches (Periplaneta australasiae) are 2.3–3.5 cm long, dark brown, with yellow markings on their thorax and wings. They prefer warm, moist areas like gardens and drains and can fly. They feed on starchy and sugary foods. Our IPM approach includes targeted treatments and environmental management to eliminate them.

Brown Cockroach

Brown cockroaches (Supella longipalpa), also known as brown-banded cockroaches, are 1–1.5 cm long, light brown, with distinctive bands across their wings. They prefer warm, dry areas like cabinets and furniture, often hiding in appliances. Our treatments use NEA-approved baits and monitoring to control infestations effectively.

Brown Cockroach in Kitchen
Other Common Types

Some of the common types of cockroaches worldwide include German cockroaches, American cockroaches, brown-banded cockroaches, and Oriental cockroaches.

Brown-banded Cockroach:

up to 13 mm in length, with two light yellow bands across their bodies. They can jump when disturbed and also have wings (but only males are capable of flight).

Oriental Cockroach:

males 25 mm, females 32 mm long. They have glossy, dark-brown or black bodies. All cockroaches are indoor and outdoor pests, although the Australian cockroach prefers outdoors. Three species also prefer warm environments except for the brown cockroach, which likes dry spaces like cabinets.

Types of Termites
Types of Termites in Singapore

There are more than 3000 living and fossil species of termites around the world. Termites are classified into three main groups: Subterranean termites, drywood termites, and dampwood termites.

All three groups of termites live in Singapore. Subterranean termites and drywood termites are the ones of most significant concern to humans. In contrast, the dampwood termite plays a vital role in the ecosystem as a decomposer, especially in forested areas.

Subterranean Termites
  • Live underground, prefer areas free of human disturbances.
  • Rely heavily on soil moisture.
  • Build mud tubes (soil, cellulose, and other matter) to travel above ground and prevent water loss.
Subterranean Termites
Drywood Termites
Drywood Termites
  • Do not depend on soil moisture.
  • Live inside dry wood (doors, walls, furniture, cabinets).
  • Cause structural damage to wooden components of buildings.
Dampwood Termites
  • Infest wood with high moisture content.
  • Often found in decaying logs and fallen trees in forests.
  • Require a constant supply of water; usually found in forested, damp areas.
Dampwood Termites
What Causes Termites?
  • Presence of wood
  • Moist environment
  • Poor maintenance
Life Cycle and Biology

Termites are eusocial insects that live in multigenerational families, practice cooperative brood care, and division of labor. Colonies are divided into castes: reproductives, workers, and soldiers.

  • Reproductives: Capable of giving birth. Winged termites (alates) swarm, pair, and form new colonies. Queens lay over 1000 eggs per day and can live 20+ years. Secondary reproductives can take over after king/queen death.
  • Soldiers: Large mandibles for defense; some secrete latex from head. Unable to feed themselves, rely on workers.
  • Workers: Fetch food, feed colony, build and maintain nests, care for young. Responsible for most structural damage. Immature workers can develop into reproductives or soldiers.
Signs of Termite Infestations
  • Damaged wood surfaces that appear bubbly or hollow-sounding.
  • Presence of mud tubes (a key sign of subterranean termites).
  • Tapping sounds from soldiers alerting the colony when disturbed.
  • Flying termites (alates) and discarded wings near light sources.
  • Drywood termites leave behind fecal pellets resembling wood dust.
  • Live termites spotted in disturbed mud tubes or wood.
Where to Spot Them
  1. Flooring and skirting: Raised wooden flooring or visible mud tubes along walls/floors.
  2. Storerooms: Infrequently used or hidden corners.
  3. Pipes: High-humidity areas near leaks and plumbing.
  4. Exterior walls: Mud tubes seen on walls leading indoors.
  5. Outdoor areas: Unused building materials or tree stumps in gardens.
  6. Wooden doors & window frames: Mud tubes, exit holes, or fecal pellets during cleaning.
