Ants<\/a> are one of the most successful species of insects on the planet report pest control professionals in Ocean County, NJ<\/a>.\u00a0 These social creatures work together as a team to create large colonies.\u00a0 Here are some interesting ant facts that set them apart from other insect species:<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0There are millions of humans in the world, but millions more ants than there are in the world.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0The \u201cslave-maker\u201d ant invades other ant colonies and steals their pupae.\u00a0 When those ants are born, they are then the \u201cslaves\u201d of the new colony where they are born.\u00a0 The slave ants do not know that they are in the wrong colony or that they have been stolen and placed into slavery.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Worker ants work both day and night.\u00a0 They move eggs from the entrance of the nest to the back of the nest to keep the eggs warm.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Ants are smart creatures boasting the largest brain of any other insect.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Ants are fast moving creatures.\u00a0 Army ants never slow down. They are constantly on the move from place to place.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Ants are super strong for their tiny size.\u00a0 Ants are able to lift twenty times their own body weight.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0All ants are not alike.\u00a0 Each colony has their own scent so that they can tell when an intruder has approached.<\/p>\n

\u2022\u00a0Ants use their antennae to feel and smell.\u00a0 Their sense of smell is as good as a dog\u2019s sense of smell. Despite being somewhat interesting, ants that invade your home or garden can become a huge annoyance.<\/p>\n
