Ant Characteristics丨Pest Control for Ants
Ants are small insects that can vary in color from brown to black to red. They are closely related to bees and wasps. In Virginia, the four most common ants are carpenter ants, pavement ants, odorous ants and little black ants. There are over 12,000 ant species in existence and in Virginia, we have two different invasive species, red imported fire ants and Asian needle ants. Invasive species are species that do not originate in the area and are transferred or introduced to the environment, usually by accident. For instance, the red imported fire ant is native to South America and was introduced to the United States accidentally by means of a cargo ship that docked in Mobile, Alabama in the 1930s.
