White-footed ants among hardest species to control
When she dies, she is replaced by a wingless female who mates with a wingless male and who is capable of multiple matings.
In other words, they can reproduce faster than almost any other species of ants as they have so many queens laying eggs almost constantly.
Because of their multiple queens constantly reproducing, come colonies can contain up to 3 million individual ants (and remember, half of these can be reproductives).
White-footed ants feed on the nectar of some plants and the honeydew secretion of aphids and similar insects.
Outdoors white-footed ants can be found under the bark of trees or even in the old galleries of termites in wooden structures.
