Been here just over 20 yrs… having them for the first time. They are not sugar ants..I’m told that for some unknown reason they travel via the electrical wires & appear from outlets.

Blame it on the cicadas.

Interesting to know. Might be worth investing in those plastic electrical outlet plugs to stop them from having an entrance into the home.

Use a product called TERRO ... just put it little square pieces of cardboard and let the ants take the liquid home! I'll be buying some later today , just in case AMAZON

I buy "Taurus" on the internet..spray yourself about twice a year in and around floor area , never a problem.read cautions....wear long protection for eyes. It mixes with water. it is a termiteacide and insectacide.

We've had the teeny ants a couple or so times. Had "bug man" out and he told us to set traps (Terro) and that should take care of them. It did! He said, as others did, they come through when it rains. We saw a few by our kitchen sink. I think they either come through the electrical outlet or the window. Haven't seen any (yet) this year.

I used Massey Services for years. Whenever I would notice sugar ants I’d call, they’d be out within a couple hours. They’d take 5-10 minutes to apply a clear liquid at spots in the kitchen on baseboards. Within 24 hours—sugar ants gone!
Call Massey and sign up for their services. There’s a reason why they’re the biggest in The Villages in doing what they do.

Does not sound normal. You can expect a few bugs now and then. We have found when we get the summer rains more bugs want to come inside with us. Don't know if it because the ground is soaked, or they proliferate in the summer.
