Hi everyone, I found this large ant in my kitchen this morning. It's about 1 inch long and has a reddish-brown color. I'm in Costa Rica and worried it might be a bullet ant. Can anyone help identify? I've attached a photo. Should I be concerned about nesting inside my apartment?

I keep seeing these outbreak predictions for my area (Toronto) and I'm curious about the technology behind it. Does it use weather data? Historical scan patterns from other users? I got an alert about high carpenter ant activity coming up and it was spot-on. Would love to understand the science better. Also, how far in advance can it predict?

Just wanted to share a success story! My tomato plants were getting destroyed by spider mites last month. I used the Predetex treatment plan (the one with neem oil + predatory mites) and I'm amazed at the results. Within 2 weeks the infestation was under control, and my plants are producing again. The step-by-step tracking really helped me stay consistent. Thanks for this amazing tool!
