Let’s talk a little bit about ants. Ants are a colonizing insect that uses a caste system to divide the work up. They start with a reproductive caste, which is at the top of the pyramid. This caste does a very important job of maintaining the population within the colony.
These colonies have many thousands to tens of thousands of individuals, depending on the species of ant. The queen will lay all the eggs necessary in order to keep that population at its prime. From there, those eggs will hatch and larvae will come out. Then the workers, which are the next caste, will have to maintain and feed those larvae.
They’ll take care of them and do whatever’s necessary to ensure their survival. As the larvae grow, they will eventually pupate, or cocoon up. It’s at this stage that they will develop all the necessary things that they need to be adults. Then, once the pupa hatches, an adult will emerge in the proper caste system.
The third and final caste will be the soldier caste. These insects are uniquely equipped with different kinds of protection mechanisms, whether it’s strong mandibles or glands that can release slippery or sticky substances, or any number of different protection devices and weapons. These insects will be used to either raid other ant colonies or protect their own colony.
Ants are especially difficult to get rid of because usually when you see ants in your house, you’re seeing the workers. You can kill off as many workers as you like, but at the end of the day, those workers are just a symptom; they’re not the source of the problem.
To get rid of the source, you have to get the queen and the other insects in the colony itself. That means you have to have pesticides and baits that they can take back to their colony and eliminate all of the insects.
This is going to require a Tulsa exterminator that can handle that job and do it effectively. TermMax Pest Control is probably the best at this in town. You can contact us anytime, and we’ll get rid of any of the ant issues or any other pest control problems that you might have. Call us right away.
