Odorous House Ant
This is probably the most common ant infestation we see here throughout Boise and Meridian Idaho. These ants are giving their endearing name from the slight odor they release when killed. They are found both indoor and outside collecting honeydew, floral nectar, sugar, water and food scraps. Their colonies can umber in the thousands and consist of may nests, with multiple queens. This makes them extremely difficult to exterminate with the common DIY methods. You may kill one nest but the colony is still alive and spreading.
