White-footed ants.
 
These are probably ants you cannot handle without the help of professionals.


I do not think my current ant problem involves these but I was talking with a near neighbor about these pests and she had mentioned that Massey had identified what she had around her house as white-footed ants.


These look like a big problem.

Massey did a great job dealing with ours.

A Massey worker was in the neighborhood and he said that these were white footed ants in our yard. We have had a few in the house.

Hopefully they can kill the nests.

Massey sent a sprayer. I will have to see how that affects these ants. I think they invaded a neighbor's tree. He has someone other than Massey.

So far, so good. Like the man who fell out of a sixth floor window but had not reached the bottom yet. Credit to the recent version of The Magnificent Seven.

The vast majority of the ants in our house were gone the next day. A week or two later Massey came back and treated again to finish off the very small number of stragglers that remained. No ants since then.
