Moisture ants are not a primary structural pest, but
they can speed the deterioration of wood. They
also become a nuisance as they enter homes in
search of food. If possible, determine where the
ants are coming from. These ants require moisture
to survive. They may be nesting in damp soil out
–
side or under the house, beneath sidewalks, along
foundations, or under debris and rocks in the yard.
Or, the ants may be living in damp, decaying wood.
If the ants are nesting in wood, they may throw out
sawdust as they enlarge their nests
