Ghost Ants

Ghost ants are small yet surprisingly resilient insects native to Florida. These little guys measure in at about one-sixteenth of an inch and have light brown bodies with black heads and thoraces. The unique name “ghost ant” comes from the pale legs and antennae that look like ghostly appendages, making them stand out from their darker counterparts. They get up to mischief around homes, often taking up residence inside walls, cabinets, or drawers, where they might wait for weeks unnoticed before coming out to forage for food. Talk about an unwelcome surprise! Fortunately, there are methods to help eradicate these pesky critters, so Floridians can rest easy knowing they are free of ghost ant infestations.

Big-Headed Ants (BHA)

Big Headed Ants, also known as Pheidole megacephala, are a comparatively large species of ant that can be found worldwide. In the U.S., they’re especially abundant in Florida, where they thrive in moist environments such as flower beds and lawns. As their name suggests, these ants have large heads disproportionate to their bodies. Big Headed Ants feed on dead insects and plants and prefer to live solitary lives in small colonies instead of large communities with multiple queens like other ants. Big Headed Ants can also have big-headed soldiers or regular workers making up their colonies. The presence of Big Headed Ants is only sometimes desirable; however, these ants can become quite a nuisance if left unchecked!

Carpenter ants are some of the most common—and destructive—pests in Florida. These active creatures can destroy wooden structures, furniture, and other items due to their burrowing activities, leaving behind an unsightly appearance and a weakened structure. Carpenter ants are generally reddish or black in color; they live in excavated galleries inside the wood, which they create by removing the soft areas of the wood, leaving behind sawdust-like material. They feed on the proteins found in sweets like honeydew and other insects like spiders. Left unaddressed, these resilient creatures can reproduce quickly by producing ‘swarms’ or satellite colonies throughout your home. The best way to eradicate a carpenter ant problem is through early detection and swift treatment – so keep an eye out for these unwelcome guests!
