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.
Most of the species produce swarms (winged males and female ants) in the spring. These ants feed on other insects and honeydew from aphids on plants and trees. Carpenter ants nest in moisture-damaged wood, but do not eat the wood. If there is a carpenter ant nest associated with the house, it is because there is probably moisture-damaged wood somewhere.
