Learn More About Ants That Can Trouble You

• Red Fire ants
• Carpenter ants
• Pharaoh ants

Argentine

Red imported fire ants, which are found in the mound nests built by them in the soil. You need to be careful when you are around their nest to avoid getting bitten by these ants. They can infest garages. To prevent them from entering your home, seal all the internal and external cracks and crevices.

Carpenter Ants

Carpenter ants excavate wood to build their smooth tunnel nests inside the wood. Their sizes range from one-quarter inch to three-quarters inch. They are a threat if they gain entry to your property. To get rid of them:

• Eliminate sources of moisture or standing water
• Keep tree branches and other plants cut back from the house
• Seal cracks or little openings around the bottom of your house

Acrobat Ants

You can identify an acrobat ant by the heart-shaped gaster present over its thorax when disturbed. Acrobat ants are territorial and do not damage any trees but move into the chambers abandoned by other insects. They move into nests in coastal plain pine forests, inhabiting the excavated chambers of cossid moth larvae and bark beetles. You can control these ants by:

• Reducing access to your property
• Sealing exterior cracks
• Removing branches or rotten logs and stumps
• Cutting away branches and tree material that touches the home

Troublesome Bees and Wasps

Just like ants, bees and wasps are a big trouble to your property. The various species of bees that can be troublesome are:

• Africanized (killer) bees

Carpenter Bees

Carpenter bees look similar to bumblebees but they lack the yellow stripes. They are mostly solitary.

Yellow Jackets

You can find many species of yellow jackets. They have a patterned abdomen and a yellow and black head. You can identify them by looking at their abdomen pattern.
