Why are Ant Infestations Dangerous?
Though there is a wide range of ants and anyone who gets bitten by any will know that they hurt. If adults find it difficult to deal with ants, one should imagine how kids will deal with it. Ant species such as the carpenter ants prefer to live in woods, and they dig tunnels that can be hardly seen under the surface and this will eventually weaken the wood. This is the reason why you should pay attention to weaken trees. Ants that reside in trees often deposit the wood they eat outside of the trees they live in the form of hills and some damages are very hard to notice.
Getting Rid of Ant Tree Infestation
One of the quickest ways to stop ant tree infestation is to kill the Queen ant which is the largest and with wings. Though it may be difficult to spot the queen because she is not always visible but it is the queen ant that repopulates the colony by laying all eggs. Once the queen ant is killed the population will slowly die out. The queen ant is located at the bottom of the colony but you need to help of a professional tree infestation service provider to get rid of such a colony.
