All the ant colonies in my house

Its good to have this many different ant colonies but they are so annoying. Im going to make a list here we go
Solenopsis invicta
Trichomyrmex destructor
Paratrechina longicornis
Pheidoli parva

Well four different ant colonies and all of them are massive. Also ther is another ant colony added just today. Dont know the species yet but think they might be cremadogaster. They came with the new plant we got today and only two of em are foraging so they must be a small colony.
Ants I have-
camponotus compressus colony- the shadow warriors.
Pls just let me have a tetramorium colony

Solenopsis invicta is not found in India, if you're sure that it's Solenopsis then it might be S. geminata.

Ye it may be geminata. I just saw photos of both but invicta looked the closest to thought it was that

I heard there's a rare dark variant of S. geminata that looks similar to invicta. S. geminata is usually bright red while S. invicta is dark red.

There is no solenopsis invicta, only monomorium indicum
