Ants, for the most part, can be harmless to humans. The issue with ants is the sheer number of them in a colony.

Usually, if you see one, you’re going to see a lot more very soon. Ants within a colony all have a specific job and one of those jobs is to find food. The scout ants scavenge for food and water and are the ones that you are most likely to come upon. If a small amount of nourishment is found, a few carry the food back to the colony. If scout ants find a bag of sugar in your pantry, they will bring the colony back to the sugar they found in your pantry and we all know what happens next… ANTs everywhere!

Now you are faced with dealing with an overwhelming number of ants where victory over control becomes very difficult. You may be able to kill the ants you see, but not the ones in the wall or the ones coming through the crack in your foundation or roof that are nesting outdoors.
