Other ants bite as well but the red ant has a very strong and painful pinch that brings tears to even the strongest eyes. The pain from bites is something nobody wants to endure so if you see them lingering around your home it’s best to start a plan to destroy their existence. 

All ants will attract predators like spiders and bats as they are a very easy to catch and eat food source. Keeping your home free of these tiny pests will also help to keep out the larger more terrifying ant eating ones as well.
