  1. pest inspection Ants and termites Termites and ants are typically mistaken for each other. Termites are often understood as "white ants" while red fire ants are at times referred to as "red termites." Both red termites and white ants are misnomers because termites and ants might not be anymore different from each other. Why is it crucial to differentiate in between ants and termites? Ants and termites behave in a different way and respond differently to their environment. There are types of termites that are highly devastating to property as they feed upon wood, their primary food source. Ants, as scavengers, virtually eat anything they can get their hands on and they do not target wood as their primary food source. In this regard, termites present a bigger problem for people than ants do. Some pesticides will eliminate termites however not ants, while other pesticides work the other way around. There are only extremely couple of pesticides that can successfully manage both termites and ants at the same time due to the fact that of the fundamental differences in between the two pests. It is important to determine these distinctions so that you can come up with reliable options that can control one or the other. Habitat Among the most glaring distinctions between ants and termites is their environment. Ants typically live on the surface which is a more useful setting for their scavenging practices. Often, they would build simple mounds made from dirt, bits of plant material, and saliva, to shelter their colony from the environment. However these mounds, compared to the more intricate termite mounds, serve just as rudimentary building and constructions with little to no structural stability. This is due to the fact that ants do not depend on their mounds to develop an environment that is more biologically favorable to them. On the other hand, many termite types are not able to withstand the environment on the surface area. As such, they create these mounds of dirt to allow them to manage the environment around them, making it more conducive for their survival and reproduction. There are at least 2 highly typical species of termites that live under the ground.

  2. Appearance Although ants and termites resemble each other, upon closer assessment you can spot a variety of distinctions in their biological construction. For instance, the antennae of ants and termites are different because termite antennae are made from basic, string of bead-like sectors while ant antennae are elbowed. Another significant difference in between termites and ants is that ants have substance eyes, which makes it simple for them to find food on the surface. Termites, on the other hand, typically do not have eyes. This is because of the reality that while underground, termites do not require eyes t discover food and rather use their other senses to feel around them. There are some termites, nevertheless, that have not really well-developed compound eyes. Both red termites and white ants are misnomers due to the fact that termites and ants might not be any more various from each other. Ants and termites act in a different way and react differently to their environment. Some pesticides will eliminate termites however not ants, while other pesticides work the other method around. There are just really few pesticides that can successfully control both termites and ants at the exact same time because of the intrinsic differences in between the two insects. Another significant distinction between termites and ants is that ants have substance eyes, which makes it simple for them to find food on the surface area.
