ANTS

In the UK, the Common black ant (Lasius niger) nests outdoors - often under lawns, within decaying trees and under building foundations. Ants, like wasps, are social insects living in organised colonies controlled by a queen. The workers will forage widely in search of food. In doing this , they tend to follow well-defined trails and cluster around the source of food. Sweet foods are of particular attraction, hence the ant's interest in kitchens, storerooms and warehouses. Pharaoh's ants (Monomorium pharaonis), which are smaller than black ants and yellow-brown in colour, are more commonly found in hospitals - attracted by soiled linen and excrement - and are more likely to spread infection.
