Different Types of Ants Idaho

• Is there a pest in Idaho that is more bothersome,
  tenacious, and challenging to eradicate than
  ants? No matter how often you spray them or
  remove their nests, they seem to keep returning.
• Because there are so many distinct types of ants,
  each of which is drawn to a different thing and
  necessitates a different approach to treatment,
  people often struggle with ants.
• Types of Ants
• Odorous House Ants -
• These little, dark brown to black ants have one
  node on their petiole and may be the most
  prevalent species in the Boise area (narrow
  waist).
• These ants invade residences in quest of sugar
  and protein, and they establish nests in warm,
  wet locations such as gaps in walls and floors,
  beneath sinks, and in pantries.

• The pavement ant is yet another widely
  distributed ant species in Idaho. These little
  ants are range in colour from light brown to
  black.
• Pavement ants are typically found under and
  around pavement, as their name suggests.
• The preferred meal of pavement ants is fatty,
  although they will also consume dead insects,
  sugar, meat, seeds, and aphid honeydew.
• Carpenter Ants -
• The carpenter ant is the largest ant species in
  Idaho.In Idaho, carpenter ants are mainly black,
  though some species can also be red, brown, or
  yellow.
• In order to build their nests, they often burrow
  through moist or rotting wood.

• Controlling carpenter ants can be annoying and
  challenging unless you comprehend their behaviour
  because they establish satellite colonies.
• Harvester Ants -
• Medium-sized (.25 inches), orangish-red to
  brownish-back in colour, and with 2 nodes on
  their petioles are harvester ants.
• They are known as harvester ants because of their
  capacity to gather seeds across a wide region,
  leaving bare patches of grass and other
  vegetation in their wake.
• The majority of harvester ants are herbivores
  that consume seeds and other plant matter. When
  startled, harvester ants are known to sting
  viciously.
