Pavement ant
|
| Size: 1/4 inch long. (It is often challenging to recognize ants from a picture. Because different species may be treated differently, be sure an ant problem is correctly identified before attempting control). |
Where/When: Found indoors at anytime during the year. In many cases it is seen more commonly indoors during the winter than during warmer weather. |
| Significance: Nests in the soil under objects, including concrete slab construction of home. Can infest food otherwise it does not harm property. Generally considered a nuisance although it can be persistent and challenging to control. |
