Rover Ants Brachymyrmex spp. Foraging Characteristics: Tiny to small dark brown to pale blond ants. Soft bodied, abdomen covers petiole May be seen excitedly running up and down vertical objects in yards, such as blades of grass, chairs, and fence posts, accompanied by larger winged individuals. Most often seen as dead, winged alates floating in pools in large numbers; their swollen bodies look striped.

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 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.

53. Ants In The Home Most ants found in a home nest outdoors and enter a home only to look for food. Different species of ants have various food habits. To keep ants out of the home, remove food http://www.ext.colostate.edu/PUBS/insect/05518.html

Home About Outreach Contact Us ... Print this fact sheet no. 5.518 Ants in the Home by W.S. Cranshaw Quick Facts... Most ants that are found in homes nest outdoors and enter homes only to search for food or water. Almost all ants are workers, wingless females that search for food and maintain the colony. A small proportion of an ant colony are winged reproductive forms. These emerge periodically in swarms and fly away on mating flights. Removing sources of food and water will reduce visitation of ants and help to more effectively use baits for ant control. Slow-acting insecticides in baits allow them to be taken back to colonies and are most effective for eliminating ants. 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.

54. Florida Harvester Ant Provides a detailed description and photograph of this ant, with information on its foraging characteristics, nest sites, diet and distribution. http://flrec.ifas.ufl.edu/entomo/ants/Pest Ants of FL/florida_harvester_ant.htm

Carpenter ants of the same size will be shinier and bicolored, while harvester ants are dull and uniform in coloration. Painful sting , although ant is not aggressive. Foragers leave nest in long trunk trails and disperse a few feet from the entrance to forage alone. May recruit to large sources of protein or piles of seed. 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.

G. Koehler, R. M. Pereira and F. M. Oi Introduction 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. Identification 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.
