More things you may not have known about ant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

With\u00a0our last post about ants, we talked\u00a0about three colony facts. This time, we want you\u00a0to know about Myrmica rubra<\/em> Linnaeus, also known as the European red or fire ant.<\/p>\n

A lot of insect pests have found their way into New Jersey from other areas of the world. Although many people think that this ant species has always been in the state, the European red ant is a foreign\u00a0species.<\/p>\n

European Fire Ant Facts<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. As the\u00a0University of Florida Institute of Food & Agricultural Studies<\/a>\u00a0notes, Myrmica rubra<\/em> is dangerous and invasive. These fire ants sting and release a\u00a0toxic venom\u00a0that causes some people to experience anaphylaxis. They also densely infest an area — up to 1 1\/2 nests per every square meter — and one colony can have several nests.<\/li>\n
  2. Unlike many ant\u00a0species, European red ants have multiple queens per colony. Finding and destroying every queen and her eggs\u00a0is difficult without professional help.<\/li>\n
  3. Humans help spread these ants to new locations. Red ants don\u2019t always sting and they can be nesting in or traveling through\/across the soil, mulch and plants\u00a0you use for landscaping and gardening. They also nest around construction materials like logs, wood boards and stone.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
