Pavement Ant ..
The Pavement Ant (Tetramorium caespitum) is 2-3mm long, brown/ black in colour with pale legs and a black abdomen. It feeds on a variety of materials, including live and dead insects, meat and honeydew from aphids, usually attacking animal foods, food fats and seeds in an outdoor environment. This species often enters houses for food and may become numerous in a short period of time in a kitchen or outside on a patio. They typically make their nests under stones, concrete slabs, and at the edge of pavements, but in houses they can occupy crevices in woodwork and masonry. The nests are often difficult to locate, so control is usually aimed at individual ants or a group of ants.
