Symptoms of oral thrush can include: 1  white patches (plaques) in the mouth that can often be wiped off, leaving behind red areas that may bleed slightly. 2  loss of taste or an unpleasant taste in the mouth. 3  redness inside the mouth and throat. 4  cracks at the corners of the mouth. 5  a painful, burning sensation in the mouth.
Winged Ants. Most of our calls about winged ants end up being about Carpenter Ants or Moisture Ants. Both of these ant species produce flying ants in their nests, and both types of winged ants swarm into, onto, and out of homes. If you have flying ants in the spring, April or May, you probably have Carpenter Ants.
Carpenter ants are usually larger than most other house-infesting ants. They vary in color from a dull black or reddish yellow color to a combination of black and dull red or reddish orange. Worker ants range in size from 5/16 to 7/16 inches long. Carpenter ants tunnel into wood to form nest galleries.
