Ants evolved from vespoid wasp ancestors in the Cretaceous period. More than 13,800 of an estimated total of 22,000 species have been classified. They are easily identified by their geniculate (elbowed) antennae and node-like structure.
Ants are a group of insects, including black ants, red ants, wooden ants and “flying ants”.
Ants undergo a metamorphosis in four stages: egg, larvae, pupae and adult. The entire process can take up to 60 days from start to finish. An ant can lay 300,000 eggs in a single day; the queen produces 150 million workers in her lifetime.
Once the adult surfaces from a pupae, it’s fully formed and ready to go. Because the queen can churn out thousands of worker ants, the best way to eliminate a colony is to kill the queen where she lives and breeds.

They feed on a variety of food, penetrate food packages, causing damage and contaminated, thus posing a health risk.
Always keep clean.
If ant-feeding bait is used as a control, remove other food so the ants concentrate on the bait and not the food.
Spraying will be carried out in the compound cracks and crevices, skirting boards, refuse collection areas, sewage and drainage systems.
