 Urban IPM: Insects: Ants: Harvester Ants
Harvester ants are so called due to their tendency to collect and harvest seeds.  There are 22 species found in the United States.  Workers are between ¼ and ½ inch (4.7-11.5 mm) in length.
Swarmers are seen in the summer.  Young queens mate with ants from nearby colonies in a mating flight.
Due to their large structure and surrounding defoliation, nests are easy to locate.  During the hottest part of the day, worker ants rest inside the nest.  Nests need to be treated with a pesticide bait suitable for harvester ants.
