Probably ghost ants. Terro works very well.

Agree that Terro will do the job. Just feed them the Terro. Don't kill them with spray. They will take that stuff home to feed the colony.

Ditto, have had great success for years killing those tiny tiny ants by just sitting a piece of card stock with a couple drops of Terro by what appears to be where they are coming from. For us it has been a window ledge in bathroom window, and once near the threshold of the front door ! Terro always takes care of it in just a few days.

I have an extra bottle of Terro that you can have if you want. I used just drops on about 8 places and my ants are gone. I'm in the Village of Duval. I am Peter Schultz on English Ivy Circle

I read somewhere that Terro will get rid of these small ants.

Get Terro at Ace , Home Depot , Lowe’s bait areas they are seen . Sometimes more than one baiting is required .

Correct. Also called sugar ants and Terro is the best. Let them take the Terro back to their nest where they all die.

Sugar ants usually around water sources. Terro products will take care of them.
