As a service provider, I am sure you always get interesting — if not amusing — questions from homeowners or clients.

Could their tunneling pose a danger to the overlying sand, leading to a collapse? If so, what’s the best way to get rid of them?”Here in the upper Midwest, small black or red ant nests do not pose a threat to the operation of an onsite treatment system, much less the collapse
