These are the common house ants which nest in woodwork, masonry, soil and rotted wood. They feed on sweets, meats, vegetables, honeydew and other insects. Nests in the ground are detected by the very small craters of fine soil. On occasion, a colony or part of a colony may establish itself inside a wall, behind brick veneer or beneath the carpet by a doorway. Infestations of little black ants often require patience and skill to follow the trails back to the nest. The type of treatment used depends on the location of the nest.
