Black-bellied house ants usually live in urban and suburban environments, such as soil, trees, building gaps, etc. They have strong environmental adaptability and can survive and reproduce in various complex environments.

Black-bellied house ants have a strong defense mechanism and can resist external threats. When faced with predators or disturbances, they move quickly to defend themselves. For example, they use their tentacles to sense danger signals in their surroundings and immediately summon companions to come to their aid. At the same time, they also release chemicals such as formic acid to repel intruders. This defense mechanism helps protect the ant colony from predators and maintains the stability and security of the entire community.
