Flying ants invade Albuquerque during the monsoon season. This is the time that these insects reproduce and colonize. These pests take over people’s yards by hundreds or thousands at a time. Although these ants are harmless, they can be very annoying and disgusting.

Chesley Elkins, an expert from Preventive Pest Control, says that bug sprays wouldn’t work on these pests. Since they are flying constantly, it’s hard to spray on them. The good news is that the winged ants die off quickly, usually within 24 hours. Flying ants don’t cause serious problem to property owners. But if ants start to invade your home, it is time to call a pest control company.
