Ghost Ants 101

Tapinoma melanocephalum. You’re welcome. This is the new scientific term you can use when you gather with family this holiday season. Meanwhile, everyone else at the table will simply say, Ghost Ants. Let’s talk about what they look like, their habits and behavior, and how to manage these spooky insects. 

Ghost Ants are two-toned in color. Their head and thorax are a very deep brown while their gaster and legs are a light tan or cream color. The workers are very small and each is the same size as the other. Another fun fact is they have no spine! It is no wonder they can get into just about anywhere and due to their color, go unseen. 

These ants are not particular in how close their colonies are. Multiple queens have been known to lay eggs in new colonies that have started. Sometimes, a queen will gather up a few workers, a couple of larvae, and pupae and move out to start a new colony. Not to worry, it had nothing to do with the fight you heard in the other ant colony – ghost ants are not known to fight amongst themselves. Glad you asked where they start colonies! Ghost ants are not particular at all. They will move into your flower pot, a mound of disturbed dirt, between cabinetry, and even in multiple places, if the nesting location is too small to house an entire colony. The workers will move back and forth from one location to another. They also enter homes by way of branches from bushes or trees that directly connect to your home or from their nest if by your foundation. 

At Kapture, we know the first step in managing and getting rid of ghost ants is to know where they are coming from. The fact that these ants are not particular at all, makes locating them especially tough. They travel to find sweet food items, especially honeydew. They can travel under floors, in cabinets, sinks, anywhere that is damp or moist, and so on. They have been known to hang out by the outdoor faucet, especially if it drips when you use it to make a puddle. 

The best way to rid yourself of these mysterious terrors is to first, keep your home clean from food scraps and clear of debris. If you notice these ghost ants, follow them back to their nest and begin the elimination process at the source. Alternatively, you can lay bait and hope they don’t eat it all before getting home. You could post a small sign that encourages them to share – or lay two baits instead.
