Behavior
All Ants (small and large species) live in colonies, and most build nests, although some are nomadic. If you see ants hunting around in your house or garden, they are worker ants. These workers lay down pheromone trails, swarm to create new nests, and cultivate other insects as food sources. Ants may choose to feed on greasy, protein, or sweet foods. They invade homes to forage for these substances.
Different Types of Ants
Carpenter Ants
The ant is dark in color, has four different species, and mainly infests homes built in wooded rural areas. They mostly nest in wood decayed by moisture or damaged by other insects. However, they do not damage fresh or new wood or “eat” wood, as their name might imply. Generally, they forage for food, particularly at night.
Odorous House Ants
These ants can be found throughout the country, especially in the less humid states. They can be black or brown and releases a rotten coconut odor when crushed. The ants usually stay outdoors in stacks of stone, wood, or cardboard. When they invade homes, they remain nearby water sources like the kitchen and bathroom.
Fire Ants
Fire ants can be either red, black, or brown, and all six most common varieties have darker abdomens than the rest of their bodies. Ants of this species build mounds of soil to identify their territory in bright, open regions. When their colony is disrupted, fire ants become extremely aggressive. You’ll find the worst of the problematic species in the southern states.
