Help me with my ant problem please!!
can anyone help identify these ants and what could be the cause??!
Bare with me: These ants showed up for the first time a few months ago infested in a pile of clean clothes on the ground. ( Yes i know i hate hanging my clothes up it’s something i’m working on). The pile was in the middle of my room with no open food containers in my room at the time. I occasionally leave food in my room, but at the most that’s overnight and up on my desk where there were none. I bought some natural in home cleaner spray that seemed to do the trick and kill them, but i was still confused as to where they came from and why they were drawn to the clothes.
Fast forward to yesterday: No signs of these guys for awhile, and then I grab a bag of closed trail mix that i did have sitting on my floor, and realized that the bag was covered in the same ants. I did have another bag next to it which they were also all over , and the trashcan next to it. Mind you this area is in a different section of my room then where they were first found.
Im a very clean person and keep my room to the same standards, and i’ve never had this problem before except the last few months. i can never pinpoint where they are coming from or anything like that, and it’s starting to drive me insane. They are tinier then the black ants that are usually outside that i’m familiar with, and are also a more lightish tan color. They are not very drawn towards the liquid ant traps that have worked when i’ve had issues with regular black ants in the past , and so i’ve kept using a natural in home ant killer spray.
