Odorous House Ant

About this species

Odorous house ants are highly adaptable and can nest in a variety of environments, both indoors and outdoors. Outdoors, they often nest under rocks, logs, or debris. Indoors, they may nest in wall voids, near heat sources, or in potted plants.

They are known for their large colonies, which can contain thousands of workers and multiple queens. This makes them challenging to control, as the colony can easily split and relocate if disturbed.

You can replace your current “About” section and the “Sections” repeater block you just added with this single unified block. I also slipped a margin-bottom: 4rem; onto the About wrapper so it has the perfect amount of breathing room before the zig-zag grid starts!
