10 best ant products

The ants settled in the house, when in contact with food, are carriers of infection. Garden ants spoil the soil with anthill structures, which are constantly expanding both inland and in breadth. Among other things, these insects are bred by aphids: they specifically spread aphids to plants, which attach themselves to the leaves and feed on sap, obtaining protein, which is removed from the body by sugar drops during digestion. It is for the sake of the extraction of this sweet dew that ants colonize plants with aphids. Ants constantly take care of them, transferring it to new plants.

The surest way to get rid of a colony of ants is to kill the uterus of an anthill. The uterus is the egg-laying female, the queen. She is always inside the anthill, the work ants bring her food. Most ants-fighting drugs are based on the strategy of attracting insects to the sweet smell. Traditionally, having tasted a sweet bait, an ant carries some of the poisonous means to his queen, thereby poisoning himself, the womb, and other inhabitants of the anthill. Since among today's variety of brands of insect fighting agents, you can get confused, we, to simplify the selection, have created a rating of the best drugs against ants.
