Back at home, I have always wondered why the ants forming a trail on the walls above the cupboard seem endless. No matter how many I swat away the whole afternoon, there seems to be a lot more of them from where they come from. Eventually, I would discover that the only way this endless trail would stop is if I removed the breadcrumbs on the table.
There are more than 10,000 species of ants. Most of these species are found in the forests, while a few make it to our homes and offices. But lo and behold, those “few” I am talking about still number by the hundreds of thousands.
They form colonies. Each colony has one queen and plenty of fertile males. The queen’s only function in life is to lay her eggs that will ensure the survival of the colony. The male ants, on the other hand, have the enviable role of mating with the queen. That is all they do in life. It’s the female ant workers who have the pitiful role of just working hard to get food for the colony. They are the ones who forage for food, but they are not complaining.
Ants Can Be Pests
They bite. They bite you even without you provoking it. And their bite is quite painful and irritating.
Ants are always foraging for food. They send individual scouts to do it. That stray ant that you just saw this morning when you woke up? It was not a loss and looking for a way back home. It was right there for a purpose: it was spying for some food. Once it finds what it is looking for, it gathers its fellow ants to attack the food. That bread you just baked will be food for the ants.
They are unsightly and embarrassing to have, imagine your beautiful home with a trail of ants traveling from one wall to the next which your guests will see. makes you want to reach out and wipe them all off. Then, of course, they will bite you some more.
There are some instances when ants attack even electrical wirings. This is when they cause structural damage.
Ants are clever too. They are survivors. When they sense danger, they easily relocate. Their adaptive nature makes it hard to eradicate them. That is why the termination of these ants takes much more than just wiping them off with some wet cloth or something. Maybe you can ask for help. Why not let the professionals handle this?
