When found in recreational areas or outdoor living spaces, harvester ants are a nuisance.
Dealing with pests in your living space is a frustrating situation, although the presence of certain pests is more concerning than others. For example, the little black house ants you might see walking in a line to and from the pantry aren’t as worrisome as the species of ants that can cause destruction in your home or pests that carry bacteria and harmful diseases. Harvester ants is the name given to any species or genera of ants that collects mushrooms or seeds, which they store in their communal chambers. These ants can be beneficial when found in a garden, as they can increase seed dispersal and soil aeration. However, some types of harvester ants can also deliver painful bites and stings, so eliminating them from your property is the best course of action to protect your family.
