	Urban IPM: Insects: Ants: Pharoah Ants (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12)
		The name pharaoh was given to this little ant under the false belief that it had been responsible for one of the plagues of Egypt, during the reign of the pharaohs.
		Pharaoh ants are amongst the smallest ants; workers are around 1/16-inch long (1.5-2.0mm). The color varies from yellow to reddish, with a slightly darker abdomen.
		This ant prefers a warm (86°F/ 30°C), humid (80% moisture) environment. It is only found outdoors in subtropical areas such as Florida and Hawaii. Here they nest in leaf litter, flowerpots and rain gutters debris. In temperate climates, however the pharaoh ant cannot survive outdoors through-out the entire year and instead seeks heated buildings.
