Ant Control

Ants are eusocial insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the related wasps and bees, belong to the order Hymenoptera. Ants evolved from vespoid wasp ancestors in the Cretaceous period.

Ants will eat practically any kind of food,but are especially attracted to sweets. Ants can live from several weeks to several years. Depending on the species, ants can range in size from 1/12 to 1 inch (2 to 25mm)

There are three kinds of ants in a colony: The queen (or queens), the female workers, and males. Ant communities are headed by a queen whose function in life is to lay thousands of eggs that will ensure the survival of the colony. Depending on the species, a colony may have one queen or many queens.
