Broken Arrow Pest Control is best at eliminating sneaky pests, like ants. Ants are eusocial insects. You will never see them alone. Also, ants live in dirt. If they are coming to your house, they are bringing several dirt and germs along. These will indirectly pose many health issues to your family members like salmonella, E. coli, fever, abdominal pain, and so on. You will be surprised that a female ant can give 1000 eggs in a day. So imagine how good they are at increasing their population. That’s why we suggest not to make any delay when you see ants in your house, and call Broken Arrow Pest Control immediately. 

Ants and their whereabouts

Ants belong to the Formicidae family and the Hymenoptera order. They are available in 22,000 species, that’s why they don’t have any distinct shape. But all of them go through a life cycle that is divided into four stages. These stages are egg, pupae, larvae, and adult. Their egg stage lasts for 14 days. From a fertilized egg, beget a female egg, and from an unfertilized egg, beget a male ant. Then, they have to stay in the larva stage for 6 to 12 days, 9 to 30 days in the pupae stage, and the rest in the adult stage. 

All the ants fit into a position on their colony after reaching the adult stage. It could be queen, alates, or workers. Queen ants are top level ants, responsible for reproducing their colony. Alates or male ants only mate with queens. Then worker ants only do menial jobs, like bringing food for everyone, building nests, serving the queen, etc.

Now, how to detect if ants are roaming in your house. Well, you can figure this out with some signs. Such as ant trails, rustling noises, wood damage, piles of dirt, droppings, and of course visible ants.
