Argentine Ants![]() The argentine ant has had great success in adapting to new environments, and in many documented cases dominating, and replacing native ant species. It is considered a significant pest and is believed to be a native of Argentina and Brazil. more info....
In urban environments, Argentine ants literally overrun homes and other structures in large numbers, and in addition, protect insects that attack garden plants and other landscape growth.
In agricultural areas such as California and Florida, argentine ants have a serious negative impact because they protect aphids, mealy bugs and scale for the purpose of harvesting their honeydew. Another trait is that neighboring argentine ant colonies inter mingle and do not come in conflict with each other. During the winter, the colonies sometimes join together to winter over. Their colonies are fast growing and generally contain more than one queen. They have no soldier caste, all of the workers are aggressive predators. Large sums of money have been spent not only in the United States but also abroad, in Australia, France, South Africa and New Zealand among others. The bulk of the monies spent have been delegated to broadcast pesticides which have long lasting negative effects on beneficial insects, wildlife and the environment as a whole.
