The biology, nesting habits, food choices and other variables are very important factors that dictate which ant control methods should be used. When ants invade your home or property your first step in control is to know exactly which type of ant you are dealing with. A few species ( fire ants carpenter ants ) are easily recognized; ants that are common and well known to your area or region will be easy for some to identify ( Argentine ants in California). This list of ants will help you find the type of ant that needs to be eliminated or controlled on your property. Once you have properly identified your pest ant and know its habits and preferences, you can make a decision on which products to use to control them. For ant identification, biology and how to kill ants of different species, click on the different ants listed.

These bicolored arboreal ants are among the largest ants found in Florida, making them apparent as they forage or fly indoors and out. major workers In a survey of common urban pest ant species covering four metropolitan areas of Florida (Daytona-Orlando, Tampa Bay area, Sarasota-Ft. Myers, and the greater Miami area), Klotz et al. 1995 found that infestations of Florida carpenter ants accounted for approximately 20% of all ant complaints by homeowners. Klotz et al.

    Extractions: Tribes See text Myrmicinae is a subfamily of ants . There are about 140 genera within the group, with the family being cosmopolitan. The pupae lack cocoons . Some species retain a functional sting . The petioles of Myrmicinae consist of two nodes. The nests are permanent and in soil, rotting wood, under stones or in trees. The subfamily is divided into a number of tribes: In addition, several living and fossil genera are not placed in tribes. Their position is either placed incertae sedis or, especially for fossil forms, too basal Archimyrmex Cockerell, 1923 Attopsis Heer, 1850 Cephalomyrmex Carpenter, 1930 Electromyrmex Wheeler, 1910 Eocenidris Wilson, 1985

Shopping Cart: items Identify or Find Solution By Pest Animal Care Products Natural Fertilizers for Organic Growing Lawn Care ... Identify or Find Solution By Pest Ants Indoor and Outdoor Ant Control with Natural Solutions There are 14 common ant species that are pests in the United States. They invade buildings in search of food and water; outdoors (and sometimes indoors), they protect and care for other insect pests, notably aphids, soft scale, whitefly and mealybugs, and some species harvest the leaves of various plant species. Most do not bite; however, the fire ants and harvester ants are noted for their painful bites. However, ants do have useful functions in the environment: they feed on fleas, caterpillars, termites, dead insects and decomposing dead animals. Ants also can help plants; they disperse seeds, aid in pollination, defend against attacks by herbivores, and enrich the soil through soil turning. Go after the ants causing damage; leave the good ones to do their job! Ants usually nest in the soil. The exception is the Pharaoh ant, which can nest in walls in buildings. A new colony is started when a newly mated queen lays her eggs. She feeds the first larvae until they pupate. A few weeks later they transform into sterile female adult workers, and they dig their way out to collect food for themselves and the queen, who keeps on laying eggs. As the population increases, the nest size increases until it is too large. Then the colony produces winged male and female ants that leave to form a new colony. The only exception to this is the Argentine ant. All of its colonies are linked, and the new queens are accompanied by workers to make a new link when the population increases.

    Extractions: no. 5.518 by W.S. Cranshaw Almost anywhere in the state one travels, ants will be the most common insects that can be found in yards, gardens, fields and forests. Tremendous numbers of ants normally reside in a typical house lot, although most lead unobserved lives underground or otherwise out of sight. Often it is only when they occur indoors or produce their periodic mating swarms that they come to human attention. Overall, the activities of ants are quite beneficial. Many feed on other insects, including pest insects. Ant scavenging helps to recycle organic matter and their tunneling is useful in aerating and mixing soils. On the other hand, ants sometimes promote the activities of certain plant pests, notably aphids, that excrete sweet sugary honeydew that is favored by many ants.

They can sometimes be seen collecting seed after they drop from plants. Diet: Scavenge for dead insects and seeds. May collect seeds directly from plants. Detailed Description: 6.4-10.25 mm (1/4 – 2/5 in), polymorphic Long hairs on the underside of the head form a basket used to carry damp sand. Twelve-segmented antennae . Two-segmented petiole Sting.

59. ENY-203/IG080: Ants
    Information on the several species of ants that are a pest round homes, their identification, biology and control.  
    http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/ig080
    
    Extractions: P. G. Koehler, R. M. Pereira and F. M. Oi Ants are pests around the home because they feed on and contaminate human foods, infest structures, and build unsightly mounds in lawns. In some cases, ants are able to inflict painful bites or stings. Ants do not attack or eat fabrics, leather or wood in houses; however, some species can establish nests in decaying wood in structures. Several species of ants are found in or around houses in Florida. In general, the most common ants can be grouped as house-infesting ants, yard-infesting ants, and carpenter ants. The most commonly encountered pest ants are pharaoh, ghost, carpenter, native fire, imported fire, crazy, thief, acrobat ( Figure 1 ), and big-headed ( Figure 2 ) ants. Figure 1. Acrobat ant. Figure 2. Big-headed ant. Ants can be recognized from other insects because they have a narrow waist with one or two joints (nodes) between the thorax and abdomen. Also, ants have elbowed antennae. Winged reproductives have four wings with the first pair being much larger in size than the hind pair. Ants are frequently confused with termites. However, termites have a broad waist between the thorax and the abdomen. Termite reproductives have four wings of equal size.
