Identification

Odorous House ants are dark-colored. 1/8 inch in size. Single node hidden beneath the abdomen. Strong, rotten coconut smell when crushed.

Environment

Odorous house ants can exist in very large numbers where there is plenty of moisture. Will form trails similar to those of Argentine ants.

Threats

Odorous house ants are one of the most difficult pests to eliminate from a structure. Will often establish in earth-filled porches and block walls. Because odorous house ants tend to forage inside homes, they can easily contaminate human food supplies. While odorous house ants do not sting or bite, they can become persistent pests, traveling indoors in large numbers.

Treatment

Granular bait applications to the perimeter of the structure. Gel baits inside and in exterior stations. Perimeter sprays with non-repellent products.
