Anti Termite Treatment
Ants are social insects and live in colonies. Due to their foraging in large numbers, ants are commonly considered as nuisance pest. Ant colony may consist of 4 castes: queen, worker, female and male. Workers are responsible to forage for resources while queen is involved in egg-laying. Female and male ants (ant reproductive) have wings and they are responsible to swarm, mate and establish new colonies. Often ant reproductive are confused with swarming termites but they are distinguished as ant reproductive by having different sized fore and hind wing pairs, while in termites both pairs of wings are the same size.
On the other side, we all mistook that white ants were also ants. But actually, it’s not; they are termites. White Ants Pest Control is not different as compared to any pest control. So, it’s important to identify whether you have an ant or white ant attack.
Right Ant or White Ant Treatment will ensure you get rid of them.
