Hi,
I can't make out what kind of ant
that is from the photos. Please send me 6 or so and I will ID them for you. Ants are difficult to control even with insecticides.
To preserve and protect fragile specimens, it’s always best to submit insects in a small leak proof vial filled with rubbing alcohol or vinegar (the postal service prefers you send them in vinegar). Place the vial in a small zip-lock baggie, then in a small box or mailing tube and mail to
