ANTS
CRAZY ANTS
A little black ant with long legs. The ant will move erratically and quickly, usually nesting outside in soil or under objects resting on the ground, such as potted plants, bags of soil, trash piles, etc
 GHOST ANTS
A little ant with a black head and thorax and clear abdomen and legs. Common to find foraging in kitchens and baths. Runs in quick erratic movements when disturbed. Usually nest in disturbed areas in flowerpots, mulch, bases of palms, etc.
FLORIDA CARPENTER ANTS
Large orange and black ants. Mainly found foraging at dusk and during the evening hours. This species does not do structural damage, but may be a sign of existing water damage. Carpenter ants are usually a secondary problem to water. Usually nest in rotting wood, boots of palm trees and old stumps and decayed plants. Satellite colonies are common
 WHITE-FOOTED ANTS
Many small to medium sized black ants. Nests are usually found outside and often arboreal (in trees or shrubs, or in spaces above the ground in structures). Nest are readily abandoned and relocated when disturbed. One of our most difficult to control ant species.
 RED IMPORTED FIRE ANTS
Highly aggressive small to large ant. They can be found outside in dome-shaped mounds of soil sometimes invade the inside of homes, nesting in linen, bedding, etc. They have painful, long-lasting stings that can leave pustules
BROWN CARIBBEAN ANTS
The brown crazy ant forms supercolonies. They prefer feeding on live insects attracted to lights and will also feed on sweets, like honeydew from aphids and scales. The supercolonies will consume extraordinarily large quantities of bait and tend to blast through perimeter treatments by trailing over nestmates that have been killed by pest controls treatments.
