Tulsa pest control will not let ants infest your home because they will take all the necessary measures to remove them from your home. Ant infestation is a global problem for homeowners as there are over 12,000 known species of ants present in the world. The size of the colony is also huge as there are about a few dozens to millions of individuals in a colony. Ants also reproduce at a rapid rate and one single queen is capable of laying hundreds to thousands of eggs in her lifetime. Once they settle down in your yard they become very difficult to eliminate. That is where Tulsa pest control can come in and use various treatment methods to remove them.
Ant colony structure
There are caste systems in an ant colony. Queen ant is at the top of the colonies caste system. She is also the most crucial member who is responsible for laying eggs. Sge can live for a few years to a decade or more depending on the species. In her lifetime she is capable of laying thousands of eggs. The next significant caste that comes to the fore is the worker ants. They are basically sterile females who are responsible for foraging and feeding the queen and other members of the colony. They also take care of the larvae and are tasked with maintaining the colony. In times of crisis they protect the colony from predators and help them expand it.
Soldier ants are responsible for protecting the colony from any threats. They have large mandibles and they remain close to the queen to protect everyone.
Ants leave behind a trail of pheromones to communicate with each other. This system allows them to efficiently forage for food quickly and recruit others to help. The trail can persist for a long time which means even if you remove food sources, they will still come back.
Ants are known for their problem solving abilities as they work together to adapt to new situations. They find new routes if the original path to the food source is blocked. Ants are omnivorous which means they can consume a variety of foods that include proteins, sugars and fat. This allows them to survive in different environments.
