There are multiple in my bathroom . Central Florida , United States. Will ant traps work to get rid of them? Are these dangerous in any way? They don’t seem to be interested in attacking me. imgur.com/a/sjkwxIU

"Is this an ant ?"
Yes, it's a reproductive winged example (male/female). These are larger than worker ants and will emerge from a nest in large numbers at the same time and swarm, find a mate and make a new nest.
"Will ant traps work to get rid of them?"
No, they will disappear after a few days.
"Are these dangerous in any way?"
No.
They are attracted to light, so if the light is on in the bathroom they will try to get in.
Adam.

Thank you. Yes, I noticed they like the light and I do tend to leave that particular light on. I feel better knowing what they are now. Thanks
