Argentine

Ant

Argentine Ant Information

Characteristics
They are light to dark brown in color. Their antennae each have 12 segments with no “club” at the end. Viewed from the side, their thorax is humped, not rounded; their pedicel, or waist, has one segment. There’s no stinger at the end of the abdomen, but Argentine ants can bite.
Treatment
The Argentine ant will attempt to enter your house during hot, dry weather, looking for the cooler temperatures and moisture. Any potential points of entry need to be blocked. These ants like sweets, so keeping surfaces and floors clean in your home, especially the kitchen will keep them away.
