Description
Thief ants, also called grease ants, are yellow to light brown; workers measure about 1/20 inch long. Thief ants are so named because of their habit of nesting near the nests of larger ants and stealing their larvae. They often have well defined trails.

Habitat
Thief ants commonly nest in soil and rotting wood. They can nest indoors in small spaces, such as under countertops, in wall voids, cabinet voids, behind baseboards. Nests are often difficult to find.

Control Strategies
To avoid further infestations indoors, all cracks and gaps in exterior walls should be sealed. To limit the nesting of ants surrounding the dwelling, all debris should be removed and firewood stored off the ground - and call ArmaXX Pest Control!
