Description

Very similar to the pavement ant, but more robuste measuring 3 to 5 mm.

Will nest most often outside or along building foundations but on occasion in house plants or even in walls of homes.

​

They are often seen in a line crawling up fruit trees or home foundations in search of food.

​

If you have these ants in your home during autumn, winter or spring, it means that a nest is living in your home.
