Ant Control and Identification
Factors to identifying common household ants:
Ants are close relatives of bees and wasps. They’re common insects that are effortlessly identified, especially in their common wingless adult forms, identified as workers. However, winged forms of ants, which abandon the nest in large numbers in warm conditions to mate and create new colonies, in many cases are mistaken for winged termites, which also leave their nests to mate.

The ant’s body is constricted, giving it the look of having a slim waist; the termite’s body is not constricted.
The ant’s rear wings are small compared to its front wings; the termite’s front and hind wings are on the same size.
(Soon there after their flights, both ants and termites lose their wings, so wings may well not at all times be present.)
Winged female and worker ants possess elbowed antennae; the termite’s antennae are never elbowed.
Ants go through complete metamorphosis, passing through egg, larval, pupal, and adult phases. Larvae are immobile and wormlike and never look like adults. Ants, are social insects with functions divided among different kinds, or castes, of adult individuals. Queens carry out the reproductive functions of the colony and are bigger than other ants; they lay eggs and at times take part in the feeding and grooming of larvae. Female workers, that happen to be sterile, collect food, feed and look after the larvae, build tunnels, and guard the colony; these workers make up the majority of the colony. Males do not engage in colony activities; their only function is to mate with the queens. Few in number, males are fed and taken care of by workers. Fly control Traps.
