Sugar ants<\/a> don\u2019t just refer to one specific type of ant. Pharaoh, acrobat and odorous house ants are also commonly called sugar ants. These ants are drawn to sweet food sources, which is how they got their nickname. Since they make a beeline for food in residential homes, they put homeowners at risk of getting sick from Salmonella and other illnesses.
