Ant
What are Ants?
When it comes to ants, these very social insects are considered “eusocial,” meaning the community is comprised of both productive and sterile members of the community, which contribute to the protection and cultivation of reproductive residents. Throughout their existence, the ant has been regarded for its strength and high level of organization within the colonies and nests.
Out of sometimes millions of ants, each and every member of the community abides by their given duties until they are replaced by up-and-coming units. With this keen sense of purpose and function, ants are able to thrive in many different places, coming in a wide-range of sizes and species with distinct characteristics. A typical ant colony consists of female ants (”workers”), fertile males (”drones”), and fertile females (”queens”).
Ant Trap Ingredients:
1) 1/3 cup molasses
2) 6 tablespoons sugar
3) 6 tablespoons active dry yeast
Mix ingredients together in a small bowl until they form a smooth past. Spread the mixture into plastic lid. Any old plastic container will do. Set the mixture near the mouth of ant hill. For kitchen areas, coat a strip of cardboard with the mixture and lay along floor or in crevices where ants travel. Works best with medium to large ants. Try substituting honey for the molasses.
