Description

Ants are very common and valuable insects throughout the world. Their tunneling helps aerate soils and many species feed on insects that may become pests. However, ants can also become a problem in the home. Most ants build nests in soil. Those that invade buildings usually nest near foundation walls or under concrete slabs. One species—the carpenter ant— builds its nest in hollow trees, stumps, and sometimes in the timbers of buildings.
