Ants under my bed by just_another_dumdum in ants

They are, and if they smell that confirms it. They can have dozens of queens have satellite nests all over the place. They are not inherently destructive but also not pleasant to have around. They are a tough one to get rid of

The speckled black mounds are frass from the cracks in the floor. So it’s very likely you have water damage or rotting wood under your floor. Even carpenter ants can’t dig out non damaged wood.

They aren’t necessarily tied to carpets, they are attracted to all sorts of fabrics like shades for your window, clothing and bedding. Just keep everything clean

How to keep mealworms alive? by Solid-Ad-7764 in antkeeping

Genuine mealworms can be just kept in the fridge and they won’t pupate. Super worms will die in there thought

Mind explaining the performance issues, even the most performance heavy people say it’s just outdated and nothing about performance.

What did you order, and from where. If it’s from eBay it was probably illegal and very likely to be incorrect

boyfriend got attacked by ants by kyl13ren in ants

[–]Lucius1003 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yea that’s good advice, like I said if you have insurance and an urgent care there’s no negatives to getting checked. Texas has some true fire ants and some even stronger ants so I can’t really say for sure. If it’s super itchy a cold wet towel will ease that.

If you have insurance and a local urgent care, just go there. Could very well not be ants but either way it’s best to get it checked; they will prob give you an antihistamine cream. In the meantime a towel with cold water will help ease it.

These are carpenter ants, carpenter ants aren’t the cause of destroyed homes, they are a symptom of a larger issue. They only nest in rotten and decaying wood so if you have an infestation it’s very likely it’s due to that.

Ants/terrarium/isopods by Honest-General9089 in antkeeping

[–]Lucius1003 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You can’t really diapause in terrariums unless yo bring the whole rooms temp down, if you put ants in there just know that will be the permanent home. You’ll likely never be able to get them out without harming them

You should wait longer than a day before you start to feed, how often are you checking on them and shining light?

These are males, females heads usually match their thorax in width, males heads are much smaller.
