I've seen four emergences here in the last two weeks, one outside, the
other three inside the house (the last one occurring right now). It
drives my wife mad (I can hear the vacuum cleaner going as I sit here),
but the poor little things are just looking for a way out. It's a bad
colony decision to emerge in a place where there is no hope for
dispersing, especially when they encounter humans who don't want them
around.
The three batches that have emerged in the house are pretty tiny (I
don't know ant species), unlike the larger ones I normally see outside.
They seem to breed under a concrete slab and emerge through the thermal
break where the outside wall meets the slab.
