Hazel Grove Ant Infestation Removal
The Life of Ants
Superorganisms
Ants are part of a special family of insects that include wasps and bees. Although the individual is small and barely a blip big, ants gather their strength from their huge numbers which can go into the millions. This is because ants tend to organise into colonies. Being such organised creatures that can operate as one united cluster has led them to be regarded as superorganisms. It is exactly this ability to gather in huge numbers that make ant infestation in the house such a problem. As a result, a Hazel Grove ant infestation removal treatment should affect ants as a colony in order to be effective.
Social order
Queen
Ants are social creatures, which means they work together with one another within their very own society. Organised as they are, ants divide into distinct groups that perform specific roles within their colony. Perhaps the highest order of ants is the queen. The queen is solely responsible for laying eggs and is usually assisted by worker ants in this role. Fertile, winged female ants are also called queens. To be effective, Hazel Grove ant infestation removal methods must eliminate any and all queens.
Worker
Worker ants are usually females that cannot mate. Instead, they take care of the eggs and young hatched ants, defend the nest or forage for food. Worker ants that solely defend the nest are called soldiers.
Drones
During mating season, drones and virgin queens take to the air to take part in the nuptial flight, which is the ant mating ritual. Mating ants can whip up such a huge swarm that create a familiar sight in the UK, a flying ant infestation.
Fortunately, professional services like Young’s Pest Control are well-versed on the life cycle of ants and can capably handle any ant infestation, or worse a flying ant infestation. The average homeowner or shopkeeper can be assured of safe and effective Hazel Grove ant infestation removal. Nevertheless, it would not hurt to know a bit more about ants to keep them out of any home or business.
