Do sweet ants bite? This is a question that I have been asked a lot recently. The answer is yes they can bite. I have had a few sweet ants bite me and it does not feel good. The last time I was bitten by a sweet ant I had to go to the hospital. I am not sure if they are poisonous but I do know that they can bite.
I have seen sweet ants in my house and they are really annoying. I have tried to get rid of them but they keep coming back. I have even tried to poison them but they seem to be immune to it. I am not sure what to do about them.
If you have sweet ants in your house I would recommend that you call an exterminator. They will be able to get rid of them for you.
