A Variety of Ants

Carpenter Ants
Carpenter ants can have black, dark brown, red and black, yellow or red coloration with sizes ranging from 3.4-13 mm. Black carpenter ants have uniform dark brown and black colors, while red and black carpenter ants have dark brown and black bodies with a red-brown thorax.

Sugar Ants
Sugar ants are between 7-12 mm., which is larger than many other ants, and have brown-orange bodies with large black heads. They nest outdoors in hollow wood, branches of trees or shrubs and beneath rocks or soil.

Ghost Ants
Ghost ants head and thorax are a dark brown color while the gaster, legs and antennae are a milky white color. They are hard to see due to their pale color and tiny size. Ghost ants are monomorphic and the thorax is spineless.

Argentine Ant
The Argentine ant is one of the more common species in the U.S. They are brown in color and usually sweet eaters. Unfortunately, this ant is one of the most difficult to control, as they often set up multiple nearby colonies so they can take over a larger area. They are often found near electrical outlets, bathroom ceilings, and kitchen counters throughout the year.

Odorous Ant
This unpleasant ant emits a bad odor when stepped on. Odorous ants are a brownish-red color and very tiny - only about 1/10-inch long. They usually build their colonies underneath rocks and inside of walls. Additionally, female odorous ants can lay one egg per day. The odorous ant also lives several years.

Pavement Ant
Pavement ants will sometimes live alongside other, larger ants, feeding on the young of their hosts. These ants are generally brown and 1/10 of an inch long. You'll find them nesting in sidewalk cracks, along curbs inside of walls, and under rocks and floors.

Pharaoh Ant
This very tiny ant is only 1/16-inch and a golden-amber color. The pharaoh ant requires a warmer climate to survive. Their nests are usually hidden in well-protected areas such as wall voids. Just a single pharaoh ant colony can support several million worker ants.

Thief Ants
Thief ants are so tiny; they can go undetected for weeks. They're known as "thief ants" because they feed off of the larvae of other ant species. You'll commonly see them around your kitchen sink or pantry. They're known to feeds on cheeses, greasy foods, and meats.
