Ants are one of the most common pests that plague homeowners.  In fact Ants may make up  half of all the insects living in some locations.  Many homeowners get pest control simply to control ants alone.

Ants live in structured nests that may be located underground, in ground-level mounds, or in trees. Carpenter ants nest in wood and can be destructive to buildings. Some species, such as army ants, defy the norm and do not have permanent homes, instead seeking out food for their enormous colonies during periods of migration.

Ant communities are headed by a queen whose function in life is to lay thousands of eggs that will ensure the survival of the colony. Workers (the ants typically seen by humans) are wingless females that never reproduce, but instead forage for food, work on the nest, protect the colony and perform many other duties.

Ants communicate by using chemicals to alert other ants  to danger or lead them to a promising food source.  If that food source is inside your home, you may have a kitchen or bathroom black with ants.
