What is an ants life expectency?
The queens can live for up to 30 years, and workers live from 1 to 3 years. Males, however, are more transitory, and survive only a few weeks.
A queen is generally the largest individual in the colony. The primary function of the queen is reproduction; she may live for 6-7 years and produce up to 1,500 eggs per day. Many fire ant colonies will have more than one queen. Males mate with the queen ant for the purpose of producing eggs. Shortly following, however, the male ant usually dies. The workers are sterile females who build and repair the nest, care for the young, defend the nest, and feed both young and adult ants. The worker ants also go find supplies to build the nest.
Probably one of the most interesting aspects of ants is that they wage war on one another. Two colonies will send out battalions of warriors to fight with one another. Then, the victorious warriors will come home with the spoils of battle. They capture the enemy's eggs to be raised in their colony, take all the food and useful things from that colony, and may in some cases capture the queen. However, when an ant colony meets another for the first time, they will each send out a champion to fight on their behalf. This way, the colonies can decide on who is where on the level of superiority without the deaths of so many fighters. Some ants will even merge colonies to create a supercolony.
Ants that have been wounded in battle are not abandoned by their fellow warriors. When the fight ends, they will be carried back home where they are nursed back to health.
That's just me, though. There are many more amazing things about them.

How does mint scent repl ants?
Ants do not have lungs, but instead they take in oxygen through tiny pores in their bodies. The reason why they are repelled by the mint scent is because Mint oil is extremely vaporous. Have you ever taken pure mint oil and sniffed it too close? now can you imagine breathing mint essence? Now imagine if you had that minty essence going through your veins and throughout your whole body. When an ant comes in to contact with diluted mint water (1 tsp. per 2 cups water - a wonderful ant remedy) they experience that cold sharp essence throughout their whole body and it stuns/freezes/slows down their body processes, and they will eventually die.
