![]() Ghost Ants are commonly seen infesting structures this time of year. These ants are very small and translucent. They commonly nest both outside and inside of homes. Outside of the home, Ghost Ants typically trail along exterior walls to an entry point into the structure. Inside structures, nests can be found within wall voids, behind cabinets, and in undisturbed areas in kitchens and bathrooms. Most people notice these ants in kitchens, feeding on food scraps. Ghost Ants are managed through treatment of ant trails around the foundation of the structure. Strategic bait placement is also important in managing these ants. The most important aspect of managing Ghost Ants is identification of nesting sites, identifying entry points, and applying the proper products.
