Common Ant Species in Columbus, Ohio
Ohio is home to several ant species that can invade homes and businesses, including:
- Odorous House Ants: Tiny black ants (1/16 to 1/8 inch) that emit a rotten coconut smell when crushed. Often invade after heavy rains, seeking sweet foods.
- Pavement Ants: Dark brown to black, about 1/8 inch long. Common in urban areas, nesting under sidewalks and entering through foundation cracks.
- Carpenter Ants: Largest ant species in Ohio (up to 1/2 inch). Their presence often indicates moisture issues and can lead to structural damage.
