Salient Features of Domestic Ants

Residents of private houses and high-rise buildings know that uninvited guests in them can be red or house ants. Many confuse them with their forest counterparts, but these are two different species. Home dwellers are called pharaonic ants, since they were first discovered during excavations of the Egyptian pyramids. But their real homeland is India.

These two species differ in size. The length of forest dwellers is from 4 to 9 mm, and domestic ones barely reach 3 mm, they are lighter in color. In the harsh Russian climate, they can’t live outside the heated territories, and therefore they find housing in houses, apartments and any other premises, without refusing any organic food: crumbs, open food, and rubbish dumped.

Domestic ants do not live in one colony, but create parallel nests in the corridor, bathroom, in the kitchen, on the landing. They eat separately. If one nest is destroyed, the rest of the colony remains unharmed, so when these guests appear in the house, get ready for a protracted war.

Interesting!

Character in red forest and domestic ants are also different: the former can bite a person badly, protecting themselves or anthillsecond ants do not bite at all.

Tortured ants in an apartment in the kitchen. She hid all the food, but still found them even in bread. Friends advised me to buy Fas double. They said that they quickly get out, acts quickly and effectively. Sprinkled dust in the kitchen under the sink and baseboards. In the morning I gathered dead ants. I don’t see them yet. It’s good that there are no animals and children in the house, I won’t clean the dust, let it lie still, as indicated in the instructions, so that the ants do not come back.

Ants in a summer cottage appeared recently. But now I come across them everywhere. Begin to appear in the summer kitchen. Neighbors advised Fas take, they say that helps quickly. I bought it in the Garden Garden store and sprinkled it in the kitchen where I found their paths, around trees and flower beds. They disappeared quickly in the kitchen, disappeared in the garden, and then began to appear again. I was upset, but as it turned out later, the product is washed away by water. Will have to repeat the processing. Still, it was good when the ants disappeared. Good remedy.
