Common Ant Varieties in Virginia
Red Imported Fire Ants
This particular species of ants are native to South America, but over the past decades, they have become common in Virginia. Red imported fire ants are highly aggressive, and they’re known for their bite, which stings, and their red bodies. If you notice that these ants are on your property or coming into your home, you’ll want to take care of the situation right away.
Pavement Ants
Pavement ants do have a stinger, but they’re not aggressive. However, they can be a problem for your home. Pavement ants come in large numbers and can easily infest your property looking for food. This could lead to spreading bacteria and contaminating your food. You can find their anthills in a lot of Virginia yards.
Odorous House Ants
Odorous house ants are small, but they do emit a foul odor when crushed. Many liken the bad scent to rotting coconut. Like pavement ants, they’ll infest your home in search of sugary items.
Carpenter ants
Carpenter ants thrive in damp wood, and they are a natural decomposer for woodlands. These characteristics, though, are not what you want nesting in your house. Unlike termites, they do not eat wood, but they’ll chew through it to make a nesting area.
Acrobat Ants
Acrobat ants have a few distinct features. The most prominent one is their heart-shaped abdomen. They can also hold up their abdomen over the rest of their body and do so when they’re being disturbed. In addition to being disturbed, they emit a foul odor. Like carpenter ants, they can hollow out wood and the insulation in your home.
Pharaoh Ants
Pharaoh ants have pale yellow (with a reddish hint) bodies, and their abdomens are typically black. This species of ant gets its name from the belief that they were part of the plagues of ancient Egypt, but that was debunked. Pharaoh ants commonly invade homes and hospitals.
Other common ant species that we find in Virginia include little black ants and Argentine ants.
