Little Black Ants (Monomorium minimum) are exactly what their name suggests. They are the tiny, slow-moving black specks you often find marching toward the honey jar or a stray crumb.
Are these the same as Pavement Ants?No. Little Black Ants are significantly smaller than Pavement Ants and are more likely to nest inside wall voids rather than under the driveway.
How do they get into sealed containers?Because they are so tiny, "sealed" is a relative term. They can squeeze through the threads of a screw-top jar or the folds of a cereal bag with ease.
