This very small ant, about 1/16th inch, is colored dark brown to black. They build nests underground, under tree bark, beneath rocks, and can even infest woodwork in buildings. They will nest both indoors and outdoors, often in decaying wood. They will also build nests in lawns and vacant lots. Their favorite food is insect honeydew, but in houses they will go after just about anything-grease, sweets, meat, fruits, and vegetables. They will even eat other insects, both dead and alive.

Life Cycle:

Little Black Ants will swarm in the summer, reproducing and forming new colonies. Each colony can grow quite large and eventually contain multiple queens.
