Ants are known for their rather remarkable, although annoying, talents. Ants might be quite strong, with the ability to lift up to fifty times their body weight, but there is little concern that your basket full of fruit will go missing anytime soon. Or is there?
It’s a bright, sunny day and you go into the kitchen to grab a cold drink. Suddenly, you see a black line slinking across your floor or your wall, heading directly for a basket of strawberries you just brought home from the store. A berry must have been a tiny bit overripe, flashing the “ant signal” that a feast is waiting for them. First, they send in a few trackers to see where this delicious treat is. In no time you have an infestation of happy-go-lucky, strawberry munching ants swarming your countertops. You are scrambling to figure out how to stop ants. You grab for the bug spray, but it’s too late. The basket of strawberries never knew what hit it. Sadly, strawberries aren’t the only treat ants enjoy.
Ants don’t just live in nests underground. They can make their nests just about anywhere. They’ve been known to homestead in some rather unusual places, some you’d never think to look… like an answering machine.
