Welcome to the University of Florida, Fort Lauderdale Research and Education Center's Pest Ants of Florida Web Page Most of the information presented here was originally published in a handbook for use by pest management professionals to assist in identifying and treating pest ant problems in the state of Florida. Besides the information contained in that book, additional information on ant biology, anatomy and terminology is provided here. Only those ant species that are major household pests in Florida are featured. There are many other ant species in Florida that are not household pests or only cause problems occasionally. They, along with pest ant species found in other parts of the United States, are not covered here. Although targeted for those in the pest control industry, this information also can be educational and helpful to homeowners, students of all ages, people interested in ants and entomology, and anybody that is curious about ants. Definitions for highlighted words in the text are provided in the glossary in the last section of this web site.
