Actually it's better than it was and they it doesn't seem to be spreading right now (knock on wood). What can I say about this but...looks like a mini ant! They are reddish but I wouldn't say dark. You can see them walking around occasionally. When I do see them, I spray them immediately and I have been seeing less and less of them. Maybe I am winning the battle?
