Before you can do a successful ant identification, you need to first understand a few details. When you see an ant, it’s best to look around if you can find other ants with same characteristics. All ants live in colonies and almost never travel alone. Many ants will follow along a trail, which serves as their foraging ground. This is their way back into the nest. This will help you also find their nest by following them to a trail.
ARE CARPENTER ANTS PESTS?
Carpenter ants are some of the worst pests in your home. Their ability to process wood and turn it into a nest can compromise the structure of wooden homes. Their primary target can be areas where the foundation connects to ground area. While a carpenter ant is not as damaging as termites when processing wood, they can still pack a punch. They love wet, damp, and damaged wood as it’s easy to convert it into a nest.
A carpenter ant colony has a strong destructive nature. Apart from talking to pest control experts, you want to spruce your backyard. Keep it clean and manicured, cutting your lawn and removing any dead, rotting wood. Eliminate any excess water from your backyard. It’s best to call ant extermination experts to remove any infestation.

WHAT ARE ODOROUS ANTS & ARE THEY PESTS?
The odorous house ant or Tapinoma Sessile is the most common ant. You can find them both indoors and outdoors, with nests in most wet areas. You can find them almost everywhere, including in mulch, stones, and outside/inside objects.
Odorous ants are not damaging to your home per se. Even then, their sheer numbers can be annoying once they start infesting your food. If they start nesting in woody areas around your home, they can also emit a dank, musty smell. If you want to prep your own home, secure the two most crucial resources that these ants want. These are wood and food. Keep food in airtight containers and clean gardens to prevent wood rot.
