I see them all the time, but had never seen one in the house. I killed it to send a message, but over the rest of the day I saw two more and my wife saw one. We've lived in the house for over 20 years and have never seen an ant inside.

We've always had a treaty where they stay in the front yard and I leave them alone when I'm out there. I'm wondering if I need to declare war on them now that they've broken the treaty. Are ants in the yard a good thing, bad thing, or neutral? We've got some regular tiny ants who live in the ground, and then these enormous tree ants who live in one of our trees.
