Iridomyrmex humilis bothers us the most, because they sometimes forage inside our homes. They eat not only crumbs, but termites and flea eggs, earthworms, baby field mice, and candy bars. People who study them say that during most of the year, as much as 70% of their diet is made up of honeydew, the sweet sugar stool of aphids, mealybugs, whiteflies, leafhoppers and other sap-sucking insects. Because they like honeydew so much, it may be possible to get rid of most of them. If everyone in the whole neighborhood would put Vaseline around the trunks of trees and bushes where aphids live, they will get trapped and many will go away because they can not get to their favorite food.
To find this cache, look in a spot where Iridomyrmex humilis would likely live.
