Ants for Termite Control
Ants and termites are oftentimes confused for one another. Although swarming reproductive termite and ant specimens to some resemble one another, there are distinct physical characteristics that will help in identifying them. Termites have two obvious body segments, while ants have three. The termite's antennae are long and straight and the ant's antennae are bent at a 90-degree angle.
Termites and ants are natural enemies. Ant and termite colonies often turn hostile upon encountering one another. Ants are typically the stronger of the two insects and emerge victorious from these conflicts. Ants have been known to raid termite colonies and consume termites as a source of food.
Research is being done concerning ants as a form of termite control. However, few homeowners are willing to introduce another pest to their home in order to assist in the eradication of an infestation.
