Thatching Ants
Some ants are common and harmless, but others can be treacherous and you need to get them out of your home. Thatching ants may seem like trivial insect but they can be very challenging. They are drawn to moisture (like almost every insect), and their nests are usually found near flowerbeds that have mulch. Pet food and plants in containers attract these ants. Once they make a nest around your home, they will soon move indoors. Thatching ants can damage your home in a similar to carpenter ants. But not only can they damage to your landscaping and home they also bite and sting, causing pain that is itchy, swelling, redness around bite. And in some people, potentially an allergic reaction.
