Hello guy.
Fist I apologize if this post offends anyone here since I am trying to control an infestation and you probably love all ants, but wanted some insight regarding what's happening in my situation.
I bought terro liquid baits and have concerns.
For several hours they were coming inside to eat the terro and then going out through the same spot they came in. Or so I thought since I saw 2 way traffic?
Now the influx of ants from outside stopped, but they decided to form small conglomerates along the path they had across my ceiling. Some of these conglomerates look like just ants taking a break, but a few others look like there is more going on.
I am worried that I am seeing some white egg like or larvae, I don't know what it is, but it looks like they are piling it up on some of these conglomerates. Also, I have seen ants that are bigger in size, possibly the queen or queens.
I know nothing about their behavior or life cycle, but it looks to me that they moved in the colony inside and carried their eggs with them, which I imagine will hatch at some point and I will have a bigger problem.
I thought Terro would make them go back to their colony and they would die in their nest. Never imagined the queen and her eggs would be brought back to my living room.
I have attached some pictures to show you what I am dealing with. I'm not even sure what I'm dealing with to be honest.
Please let me know if I should be worried that the eggs (if they are eggs) are now inside and what can I do now to get rid of them.
Thanks for your insight and again sorry if killing ants bothers you, but they have become an infestation.
