What do ants rely on to transmit information?

Ants transmit information mainly through smell. Ants rely on their antennae to recognize smells. The antenna can identify the intensity of odor and the direction and distance of odor source.

Ants are completely abnormal insects, belonging to Hymenoptera. Antennas of ants are obviously knee-shaped, and there are one or two nodules in the abdomen, which are generally wingless. Only males and infertile females have wings during mating, and females lose their wings after mating.

Ants have to go through the stages of eggs, larvae and pupae before they can develop into adults. Ants have no ability in the larval stage and do not need to eat. They are completely fed by worker ants. In the first few days of adult development, worker ants are responsible for taking care of queens and larvae, and then gradually begin to do more complicated work, such as digging holes and collecting food.

Extended data

Ant control:

1, the dominant group of ants is the yellow ant, which is easily attracted by food and all kinds of dirt, so it is very important to strengthen the cleanliness of the room and cut off the food of ants.

2. Take good care of food, especially sugar and honey, and don't leave them at will to cause ants.

3. Because the ant nest is not easy or easy to determine, it is difficult to control indoor ants by physical methods, which can only be limited to killing visible workers and cannot be cured.

4. Trap and kill with candy. According to ants' habit of eating sweets, honey, apples and other sweets are used to lure ants to eat in places where ants often haunt, and then boiled water is poured or burned.

5. Chemical control should focus on poison bait. Taking advantage of this living habit of ants, ants move the drug bait with good palatability and little repellent effect into the ant nest to poison the queen, king and young ants, so as to destroy the whole ant nest.
