Ants are the most common pest found in and around our homes that Tulsa pest control services can help you eradicate. Ants are social insects that exist in colonies. These colonies are made up of different casts that organize themselves to perform a particular function. There is the queen, the worker ants, and the soldiers.

Each of these castes is as important as the other because without one performing its function, the colony won’t grow and sustain itself. Ants also play an important role in the ecosystem. They help in pest control by preying on other insects, feeding on organic matter, breaking them down into nutrients and also dispersing seeds of plants, and opening up the soil when building their nests.

However, despite being important to the environment, they can become pests when they invade our homes. Their quest for food and water often brings them to our doorstep. They invade our kitchen, food storage, and other places. It is important that we keep them away from our homes. Your Tulsa pest control services can help you prevent them from invading your property.

Worker Ants

Worker ants are the nannies of the colony. They do all the caregiving jobs for the queen and the eggs. They make sure they feed well, and they clean the queen and also the eggs. The eggs are cleaned regularly to avoid fungal infection. They also help in maintaining the structural integrity of the nest. Building of new chambers and maintaining the old ones. So you can also call them the colony’s engineers. Worker ants can also act as a reserved force that helps the soldiers in defending the colony if they are invaded. They possess strong mandibles used for carrying food, digging the soil, and fighting off invaders. Contact Tulsa pest control services today.
