Orange ants are also known as Pharoah ants, or sugar ants; these pests are not poisonous; however, they can harbor pathogens and harmful bacteria within their bodies and pass this on to humans or animals. These ants tend to infest in mass quantities, and controlling such as infestation can be difficult, as the insects themselves are extremely small. Often pest control from an experienced expert is necessary to control an infestation of sugar ants. These ants will look for moisture wherever they can find it - they have been found in plant containers, or feeding on human beings while they sleep. Annoying and difficult to eradicate, orange ants can be an unwanted guest in any home, business, healthcare facility, or childcare center.
To deal with orange ants on your own, you must place your baits carefully to capture them and destroy them. These baits should appear near the ant's regular trails, as well as close to their stores of food and nutrition. Boric acid is often used to deal with orange ant infestations; other chemicals used to control the orange ant population include: Sulfonamide and hydramethylon. Don't use repellent baits when you strive to get rid of an orange ant infestation - these insecticides will work for a time, but the ant population will quickly rally and repopulate in even stronger numbers.
If your ants seem orangey in color, but are really bright red under closer inspection, you may be looking at a more dangerous breed of ant, known as a fire ant, or tropical fire ant. These red insects are poisonous; they are venomous creatures whose bites cause severe irritation, redness, and swelling. However, most people who are bitten by fine ants do recover on their own. Sometimes, a bite from a red ant will become infected; when this occurs, proper medical care should be sought out immediately
