There Are Many Varieties of Ants
Ants are social insects of the family Formicidae and, along with the
related families of wasps and bees, belong to the order hymenoptera.
Ants form highly organized colonies, which may occupy large territories
and consist of millions of individuals. Whether your problem is pharaoh
ants inside your home, carpenter ants which can cause serious
structural damage, or fire ants with their painful burning bite controlling
your family's interaction with ants is important.
Perhaps the most serious is the red imported
fire ant with
its aggressive nature. Commonly found
in mounds outdoors,
it can invade sheds, gutters,
walls or even build mounds up
into electric boxes.
When disturbed they swarm inflicting
multiple bites
and can require emergency treatment.
