How do you get rid of anthills in your yard?
The encouraging of a lusher plant growth and the use of insect nets and insecticides may get rid of the beneficial cicada killer wasps [Specius spp] that live out of antlike hills in the garden. Generally, these beneficial predators of cicadas don't live where the vegetation isn't sparse, patchy or inconsistent. Insecticides that contain such active ingredients as carbaryl tend to be chosen when wide areas need to be treated. Insecticides that contain such active ingredients as permethrin or pyrethrin tend to be chosen when the area's narrower or up close.
But whatever the insecticide selected, it's important to do the following:
1. Have the product's label and such pertinent information as the product's toll free number and the area's emergency contacts in a readily accessible, logical place;
2. Keep the area cleared of all pets and humans, especially of the very young and old;
3. Read and follow the product instructions;
4. Use a flashlight that gives a red light;
5. Wear protective clothing, head to foot.
The insecticides need to be applied in the dark when the females, which may sting, are inside the burrows.
Males, which may be found outside the burrows even at night, can't sting. They're easy to catch with an insect net during the day.

How many times its own weight can an ant pull?
Several times their own body weight. This is dependent on the species of Ant itself. A single fire ant has been seen transporting insects such as grasshoppers wasps and spiders. This ability is used to bring food into the nest as well as carry Infant lavae from nest to nest , or remove debris from a nest that may have been damaged or blocked. This ability is also used as a defense mechanism in some species as their maniciples are capable of crushing predator insects, even deliver a painful bite to larger predators such as humans or wildlife.
Why is it dangerous to have carpenter ants at your house?
All species mainly attack wood that is or has been wet and damaged by mold. Even though these ants first invade wet, decayed wood, they may soon begin building paths through dry, undamaged wood. They usually come into buildings through cracks around doors, windows, or through holes for wires. They will also crawl along overhead wires, shrubs, or tree limbs that touch the building far above the ground. These behaviors impact human behavior significantly as they typically will eat wood that homes are made of, causing millions of dollars annually.
They will consume ants. However, it is not recommended to feed them wild ones at the risk of introducing pesticides to the tank. If they are farm raised and are of the common black/brown variety (No stingers or potentially venemous species) should pose no threat to your betta. Happy fishkeeping!
