Interesting information about flying ants 🐜
Every summer, it happens...
One day, there are flying ants everywhere. The next, they're gone.
That's because warm, humid weather triggers thousands of winged queens and males to leave their nests for the annual mating flight. For each of these ants, it's the only mating flight they'll ever take. Swarming together increases their chances of finding unrelated mates while making it much harder for predators to catch them.
Once they've mated, the queens shed their wings and begin searching for a suitable place to establish a brand-new colony.
Effective pest management starts with understanding pest behaviour.
