Editor's Notes

  1. Can be confused with Argentine ant (also has single raised petiole), but Argentine ant is brown and White-footed house ant, but white footed house ant has larger gaster that is dull in colour. Black house ant is a single queen species so is easy to control with sugar baits. PIAKey = Pacific Invasive ant key
  2. The high % of inter-castes and multi-nest structure make them difficult to control (not the lack of trophallaxis myth). Lack of petiole distinguishes it from Argentine ant and Black House ant.
  3. Like many ant species they tend sap feeding insects for sweet secretions – honeydew.
  4. Related to meat ants. Some species have symbiotic relationship with Imperial Blue butterflies
  5. So what is this brown ant? Argentine ant is one of the most invasive species but only found in the temperate Southern states. PIA key is a useful tool (as it the Sumitomo pocket guide, available on the stand).
