They dont build nests in the ground like fire ants, instead have nests under things laying on the ground or in mulch etc. They have multiple queens per nest. They have found that they like protein based baits rather than sugar typ baits like most other ants go for.
Where is your nursery. Bc. I'm tired of these ants too. blew the leave off the roof the other day and the ants where all under there. Cut s some branches off the live oak that where hanging close to the roof. They had ants all over the branches. Also the ants arc climbing up my aluminum post for my boat shed looks like they are might be making a mount inside the post from the top
