Under most circumstances, thatching ants should be considered beneficial, since they are fierce predators of other
insects. However, where they occur in lawns, rockeries, picnic areas, and other locations of human habitation,
they can become a severe annoyance. Additionally, they are often injurious to seedling trees or plants near their nests, and they have been known to damage the buds of apple, pear, and plum in the spring. The landscape
can be visually disrupted by the presence of their mounds.
