Cannot Find Any Ants.

I have trouble finding any ants on trails in South California, San Diego County. If I do find any ants, they are less than a millimeter in length. I cannot find a single ant on the property I live on. Is there an explanation for this? I have searched a hiking trail, a biking trail, but no ants exist.

Proverbs 6:6-11

Go to the ant, you sluggard;
consider its ways and be wise!
It has no commander,
no overseer or ruler,
yet it stores its provisions in summer
and gathers its food at harvest.

I live not too far from the coast. Humidity is not too low or high.

Have you tried looking under rocks?

Maybe too many pesticides as well? I doubt even that would kill of all the ants...
