How To Identify & Control Ants

What do ants look like?

Adult ant’s species come in a variety of shapes and sizes, but each will be one of three different colony castes: queens, workers or males. Queens are fertile females that lay all the eggs in a colony. Workers are wingless females that gather food, feed larvae, maintain the nest, defend the colony, and do not reproduce. Male ants are winged, and their only job is to mate with the queens during the swarming process.
