Product Information

Diatomaceous earth (DE). Diatomaceous earth (food-grade, mind that!) is effective against a variety of critters, both at home and in the garden. You’d better sprinkle the ants’ path or around the plants, you don’t want the ants to get to. DE works well if the soil is dry. The wetter the surface is, the more time it will take to do its magic. A conflict between the sexes of a species is seen in some species of ants with these reproducers apparently competing to produce offspring that are as closely related to them as possible. The most extreme form involves the production of clonal offspring. An extreme of sexual conflict is seen in Wasmannia auropunctata, where the queens produce diploid daughters by thelytokous parthenogenesis and males produce clones by a process whereby a diploid egg loses its maternal contribution to produce haploid males who are clones of the father. [146] Relationships with other organisms The spider Myrmarachne plataleoides (female shown) mimics weaver ants to avoid predators. Both the legs and wings of the ant are attached to the mesosoma ("thorax"). The legs terminate in a hooked claw which allows them to hook on and climb surfaces. [43] Only reproductive ants ( queens and males) have wings. Queens shed their wings after the nuptial flight, leaving visible stubs, a distinguishing feature of queens. In a few species, wingless queens ( ergatoids) and males occur. [38] Metasoma Its microscopic shells contain jagged edges which pierce through an ant’s body, dehydrating and eventually killing them within two weeks’ time without posing any risk whatsoever to plants or animals on your property.

If you discover an area where ants are getting into the home, use a piece of chalk to draw an unbroken chalk line across the area. If you do not have chalk, try using baby powder.

Various plants, especially the ones that contain essential oils, give off a certain smell that puts off lots of unwanted insects, including plants. Fire ants are found in many southern U.S. states.

Ants. Love them or hate them, it is undeniable that they are amazing creatures. With large, complex societies, fungus-farming techniques and an empire which almost spans the entire globe, it is a blessing that they are so small and have not yet developed an overwhelming collective intelligence.
