Hello all! We recently purchased our first house and have been in here about a month. One morning nice and early after a few days of rain I noticed an amazing site of these flying ants out in the yard by a bush/cactus. Later that day, I saw wingless ants all over, digging a hole all by themselves all over the place. The next morning the same flight patterns and even more ants digging! I did my best to take a picture of these digging ants, and even moved one on the cool deck since catching them outside the hole their digging was so hard. I turned a couple winged ones into a pest inspector, and sent him the following pics and he said they determined they were a wasp. I think he's crazy! What do you think? I've never seen single ants dig their own holes all over so I'm confused and interested in getting rid of them Best bet is harvester ants... the end video has the flying ones and shows all the holes all over the front yard. The flying ones are hard to see but watch for the column going up and down, it really was pretty amazing.
Thanks!
