Ants range in color from red to black. Red ants are among the worst plagues that can infest a house. Most ants are strongly attracted to sweets, starches, fats, and grains and invade households in order to carry these foods back to their nests. Everyone is familiar with the house ants, which carry bits of our food materials to their nests.
When a house is infested by red ants, you should take action immediately to control them. Infestations can be reduced significantly by limiting food particles in rooms and cupboards of the house. For more serious red ant infestations, poisons may be needed to control ants; consult your local extension agents on what to use. You can also get information on how to control ants by visiting several websites about fire ants.
