Your Tulsa Exterminator can help you eliminate ants from your home. Ants are sociable insects that live in colonies. Their colonies are made up of queens, soldiers, and workers. Queens are tasked with the duty of reproducing and maintaining the colony’s population. Only they possess the ability to give birth. Ant queens usually live for 7 years. Then, there are the fertile male ants. Their job is to mate with queens. They dwell in that colony until they reproduce, and in the meantime, the worker ants care for them.
Once their reproductive duties are completed, they move on to a new colony to continue their reproduction. Worker ants are those who care for the queen ants, their nest, and perform other mundane tasks. They occasionally leave the colony in search of food.
Ants’ life cycle is separated into four categories. There are four stages namely, egg, larva, pupa, and adult. When ants reach adulthood, they are allocated several tasks, such as becoming a queen, soldier or worker. You may have heard of white ants. They’re actually termites, not ants.

Soldier Ants
Soldier ants, as their name implies, are in charge of battling and guarding the colony. They also attack and raid other ant colonies. This type of ant is found in tropical rainforests and South America. In the morning, these ants depart their nest to hunt in different areas. They can go as far as 20 yards from their nest. The leader guides the other soldiers by leaving chemical trails on the ground that match. In their absence, worker ants take care of the colony and guard the nest. The entire colony may relocate if they find a more favorable area with more food available. Soldier ants eat much larger ants and insects. They possess big mandibles. They have large mandibles as sharp as scissors that they use in slicing their prey. Your Tulsa exterminator can prevent these ants from building their nest in your yard.
