If your home is experiencing ant infestation, Tulsa pest control is the right solution to your problem. Ants are tiny insects that invade your homes and yards in search of food. These insects do not have ears, but they are not entirely deaf. They have different hearing organs on their antenna, body, and legs that senses vibration from sounds made around them. Also, ants are not blind as often misunderstood but are short-sighted and can only see just a few distances away from them. Ants are invasive which earns them the title of pests. They are attracted to sugary and sweet food and can take over our kitchen and food store if they find food particles there. In this article, let’s talk about ants, how they communicate, and what you and your Tulsa pest control services can do to eliminate them from your home.
Ant Communication
Have you been wondering how ants communicate? This is how. Ants forage as a group or individuals. When an ant finds a food source, it goes back to the nest to inform others. But ants do not talk but they can make some sound that serves as a signal. These sounds are so tiny that we can’t hear them but this is not how they communicate the spot they found food. Ants drop chemical trails as they move around. These trials are what they use to give directions to the location of the food. Other ants will follow this trail to go and bring the food back to the nest especially when the food is so much that the founder can’t carry it alone.
This chemical is also what they use to differentiate ants from their colony and the ones that do not belong since the chemicals and trials each colony produces are different. Another means of communication is the use of their antenna. They use this pair of antennae to check scents in the air, touch each other, tap on the floor to feel the ground, and also check out food particles.
