Ghost ant

What is a "ghost ant"?

A ghost ant is a small ant species with a pale and translucent appearance. They are commonly found indoors and outdoors, particularly in kitchens and areas with food. Ghost ants move quickly and erratically, making them difficult to control. Effective management involves sealing entry points, removing food sources, and using targeted baits or insecticides. Ghost ants are known for their ability to establish colonies both indoors and outdoors, making them a common household nuisance. They have a preference for sweet and sugary foods and are often found foraging in kitchens, pantries, and areas where food is stored.
