Ants in Oklahoma

The unique climate of Oklahoma makes it favorable for the ants to exist in huge numbers in and around homes and businesses. Though many species of these tiny pests have similar behaviors, one cannot adopt a one-size-fits-all approach to eliminate them. This is where correct identification of the Oklahoma ants finds its importance.

The common big black ants of the state are the carpenter ants, while the big red ants are the red imported fire ants.
