Argentine ants
Argentine ants are small, brown ants native to South America but have spread to various parts of the world, including the United States and Europe. They are known for their aggressive nature and ability to form large colonies, often displacing local ant species. These ants communicate and work together effectively, which allows them to find food quickly and thrive in various environments. Argentine ants can become a nuisance in homes and gardens, as they are attracted to sugary substances and can invade indoor spaces. Controlling their populations often requires targeted pest management strategies.
