Yes, some bird species do allow ants to crawl on them as a form of pest control. This behavior is particularly observed in species like the European starling and certain woodpeckers, which may utilize the ants to help remove parasites from their feathers or skin. The ants can provide a cleaning service by feeding on these pests, benefiting both the birds and the ants in a mutually advantageous relationship.
How about rats, flies, lice, mosquitoes, ants, and yellow jackets?
Humans primarily use ants for pest control, as they can help control other pests such as termites and agricultural pests. Some cultures also use ants for food, as they are a good source of protein. Additionally, ants play a crucial role in ecosystems as they contribute to soil aeration and nutrient recycling.
Ants and bees are only considered pests by those who do not understand them. Their sole purpose in life is to produce and nurture the next generation and bother nobody while doing this. It is man who is the pest to them.
Ants generally are not welcome in any kind of crop, including peppers of all kinds, whether finger or bell, hot or sweet. Either they are pests themselves, or they protect other pests like aphids, scale insects, or mealy bugs because the ants feed on their honeydew, or they make it hard for people to tend the plants or harvest the crop. This is especially true for fire ants, that sting and bite workers. However, sometimes ants such as fire ants will eat the aphids themselves and will eat other pests too, such as caterpillars and grubs (larvae) of beetles and flies. One just has to watch the crop carefully to make sense of what is going on, so that you know when to do something about it, and when to leave it alone.
