Information About Argentine Ant
Argentine ants are notorious for their ability to form super colonies, meaning multiple nests can work together as one massive infestation. Unlike other ant species that compete for territory, Argentine ants cooperate, allowing their populations to grow rapidly. This makes them incredibly difficult to control once they establish themselves inside or around a property.
These ants prefer sweet foods but will also eat proteins, fats, and even plant secretions. They are particularly drawn to kitchens and pantries, where they forage in long trails, following pheromone paths to food sources. Outdoors, they build nests in soil, under rocks, and near buildings, often moving indoors during hot or rainy weather.
Although Argentine ants do not sting and their bites are not painful, they can become a major nuisance due to their sheer numbers. They are also known to displace native ant species and disrupt local ecosystems. Since disturbing their nests can cause them to split and spread further, DIY treatments like sprays often make infestations worse.
