you probably don't want to go and kill the queen, because they always have another "second in command", if you will, and she is ready to take over. i know this sounds far-fetched, but it's true! my family had an ant problem and this is what the exterminator said. so you have to find the nest and get the exterminator to kill them. or, if you want to do it yourself, you can spray wasp killer at them.(ant killer doesn't work as fast). try it! The queen ant is most likely under floorboards or in the walls making babies with worker ants. thus, creating little black ant babies. to kill her you need alot of pesticide. 1. spray the pesticides in all cracks in the house 2. set up mouse traps for the very big ants 3. pray that it works
Generally, ants from different species cannot successfully crossbreed and produce viable offspring. While there have been some instances of hybridization between closely related ant species, these cases are rare and exceptions rather than the norm. Ants have a high level of species-specific pheromones and genetic barriers that prevent successful interbreeding.

If you were an ant what object would be as big to you as the sun is to a human?
If 'as big' means 'as big as seen' then the answer would probably be the sun-after all we don't see it the right size because of its distance, and neither would ants. So an ant could see the sun the size of a grapefruit, but of course to the ant a grapefruit is larger. Of course this argument is flawed because ants have no eyes. However if you mean compare the actual size of humans and the sun and the actual size of ants and the Sun. The Sun is 1 million km wide. We are approximately 1 1/2 metres. If you say an ant is 1 1/2 cm high you still want something 10,000,000 km wide to compare it with-slightly less than the size of the Earth.
