Re: How do I get swarming ants out of my house?
We're going to need more than that to tell what species or at least genus it is. Pictures and measurements would be nice.

Re: Uhhhhhhhhhhhh I am confused
I would like to add that the presence of Lasius niger in North America looks sketchy, and possibly could be mis-IDs of Lasius alienus . Anyways, just be patient and look around.

Re: Temperature in California (Bay area)
