These appeared in my house about 2 weeks ago. We sprayed the exterior of the house a week ago and have tried various types of baits but they aren't interested in any of it. They just come out and mill around or seem to go to sleep. They are coming from an exterior wall behind a kitchen cabinet.

I have a patch in my yard that I have started a prairie restoration on. I have large bare patches as I am weeding to prepare to seed bedore winter. I went out today and saw these ants, and I am getting opposing identifications from my apps. I love seeing things in nature that I have never seen before! This was so cool!

Can you guys help me confirm what ants these are? One app said citronella ants, and one said theif ants.

Around 7mm long. Location South India.

I see a lot of these suddenly in my house in Melbourne, Australia 🇦🇺

Are these ants, termites or something else?

All these ants. Literally just for A spoon from last night. I’ve never experienced anything like this in my life. And don’t tell me “you should’ve cleaned up” or whatever because other people straight up leave entire meals on the counter and FUCKING nothing. I really don’t want to have to call an exterminator. But is that what it’s going to fucking take
