There are many types of ants, and red ants are one of them. So what harm do red ants do? Let me introduce it to you today.

1. Diseases and hazards spread by ants:

Male and female ants generally live deep in burrows, and it is mainly the worker ants that come out to forage for food and cause harm.

(1) Brown house ants can harass people. Especially harassing children and seriously ill people. This ant eats pus and phlegm, and can also eat the corpses of dead people in funeral homes. Because ants crawl on infectious objects such as used surgical dressings, toilets, etc., they can mechanically carry various microorganisms, such as typhoid bacillus, dysentery bacillus, plague bacillus, and possibly anthrax bacillus.

(2) Since ants are often attracted to food, there is a risk that they may carry pathogens to the food. Ants will bite people, especially sick people. It can also cause umbilical cord infection and sepsis in newborns.

(3) Ants can cause damage to certain parts of the house (floors, ceilings, etc.). Tropical ants can attack humans and animals, and the sting of some ants is very severe. 2.What harm do red ants do?

You might as well take out the straw mat, apply some pesticide on it on a sunny day, and dry it in the sun. You can't guarantee the quality of the mat even if you change it. You can also buy this medicine on the market now. It is mainly used to kill ants. It will be fine if you have it. At present, the pesticides we use for pests are basically available for purchase. The best ones are polyester-based drugs, which have stronger lethality. The drugs we commonly use, such as Bipu, are prone to antagonism. You can change to another drug. You can go and have a look. If there is any related medicine, you can buy it and try it.

You can also try the following method:

1. Use meat and other foods to lure ants to gather, then scald them to death with boiling water, repeat several times to eliminate them; 2. Use ant killers on the market, such as chlorpyrifos and chlorpyrifos, to spray ants in gathering places many times; 3. Sprinkle the washed detergent water on the ground, and the ants will drown when they climb up; 4. As long as you pay attention to the hygiene of your home, you can sprinkle some Lysol when mopping the floor in recent days, and try to avoid some substances that attract ants, these little red ants will soon disappear; 5. It is best to close the doors and windows and fumigate with aluminum phosphide tablets and potassium bromide liquid, but the above two drugs are harmful to the human body, so when using them, residents are advised to go out. Finally, residents are reminded that if one family has red ants, often their neighbors will also have them, so it is best for everyone to carry out the root cause at the same time, otherwise there will be a "resurgence" of red ants, making it difficult to completely eliminate them.
