Signs Of Activity: Sightings of the white feet are usual sign of their presence..

Description: Carpenter ants reside both outdoors and indoors in moist, decaying or hollow wood. They cut galleries into the wood grain to form their nests and provide passageways for movement from section to section of the nest. This activity produces wood shavings mixed with parts of dead ants which provides clues to nesting locations. Carpenter ants do not eat wood, but they will feed on a variety of food people eat

Signs Of Activity: An additional sign of carpenter ant activity is the debris they produce from tunneling in the wood. Rough wood shavings mixed with parts of dead ants from the colony indicate carpenter ant nesting activity.

Size: 1/8”-3/8”            Color: Reddish Brown

Description: Fire Ants are more aggressive than most native ant species. Not only do they bite but inject venom into their victim with a painful stinger on their abdomen. They are a pest, not only because of the physical pain they can inflict, but also because their mound-building activity can damage plant roots leading to lawn death. It is not uncommon for several fire ant mounds to appear suddenly in a suburban yard, seemingly overnight.

Signs Of Activity: Signs can be their sandy earthen mounds, which are usually more visible after recent rainfall, or the complaints of customers who are being stung by ants.

Size: 1/8”-1/4”            Color: Brown, Black, Red

Description: Acrobat ants (Crematogaster spp.) get their name from their habit of acrobatically raising their abdomen above their head, especially when they are disturbed. When viewed from above, the abdomen is heart-shaped.  Outdoors, acrobat ants nest near moisture such as under stones, in stumps, in rotting logs and under woodpiles. When they invade homes, acrobat ants often nest in damp areas such as in foam sheathing behind siding, and they even have been found nesting in roofing near a leaking skylight.
