White-Footed Ants are black ants about 1/8-inch long. The tarsal segments at the end of all six legs are pale in color giving it its name. This ant is a serious pest in southern Florida and on the Hawaiian Island of Oahu.

* All four species (Odorous House Ants, Crazy Ants, Ghost Ants, White-Footed Ants) may develop huge colonies containing thousands of workers and numerous queens. A colony of white-footed ants can number up to one million individuals.
* All four of these ants nest outdoors under items on the ground, within landscape mulch, beneath loose bark on trees, under ground cover, in potted plants, and within piles of items, such as lumber, firewood, or bricks.
* Nests may readily be established inside homes in walls, beneath carpeting, and other suitable voids or spaces.
* All three species are difficult to control and do not feed much on ant baits. The keys to control are to find the colonies and subcolonies and treat them directly. Regular inspections and service are necessary to find and treat new colonies as they move in from neighboring properties. The services of a professional, such as Mike’s Exterminating are very helpful when encountering these ants.
