It is brown to reddish. His head is voluminous. His body is covered in fine hair. Its antennae are composed of 12 articles and end with a club consisting of 4 articles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Its abdominal petiole consists of 2 knot-shaped segments. The abdomen itself is shiny.<br \/>This insect has a stinger that resembles a hypodermic needle as well as a venom gland located at the end of its abdomen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Queens are between 5 and 8 mm in length. Males are 5 mm tall. As for the workers, they measure between 3 and 5 mm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns section_column is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column paddingsec is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column borderh22 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"un-probleme-de-rongeur-1\"><strong>Reproduction of European red ants<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After mating, the young queen lays her first eggs. Once the larvae are removed from the eggs, they will turn into nymphs and then workers. Or they will overwinter in the larval stage and turn into future queens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The queen or gyne will try to limit the number of future queens by emitting inhibitory hormones that will lead to the undernutrition of the larvae. If some continue to become future queens, they will be bitten by the workers. This will stop their royal development; and they will turn into workers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As the colony grows, the inhibitory power of queens and workers will not affect all larvae; this will promote the appearance of males and females, with some of the males being laid by the workers by arrheninocetic <a href=\"https:\/\/exterminateuramontreal.ca\/en\/contactez-nous\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">parthenogenesis.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Each colony of European red ants may have several queens. An adult colony can hold up to 10,000 workers.<br \/>In this species of ants, as the colony grows, workers larger than those of the first generation appear.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns section_column is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column paddingsec is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column borderh22 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"un-probleme-de-rongeur-1\"><strong><\/strong><strong>The European red ant, its manners and nuisances<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European red ant colonies live in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The woods,<\/li><li>grasslands,<\/li><li>Gardens,<\/li><li>under stones.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is at these locations that they erect their nests, forming small mounds visible in the form of bumps on the surface of the ground. European red ants are also found in the roots and under the barks of trees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They feed on:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Protein<\/li><li>animal prey,<\/li><li>sweet juices like honeydew from aphids.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">European red ant colonies are very aggressive. When a man or animal (including pets) inadvertently walks on their mound or crosses their path, European ants do not flee. On the contrary, they attack in swarms, sting and bite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, the European red ant bites and pinches the skin of its victim. Then, with her mouthpieces, she stings and lifts the victim&#8217;s skin, violently inserts her stinger into it, and then pours her venom into it; a secretion composed of formic acid.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the majority of humans, the sting\/bite causes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Burns<\/li><li>Itching<\/li><li>Swelling<\/li><li>Pustules.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These symptoms disappear 7 to 14 days later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Some people develop allergic reactions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>difficulty breathing,<\/li><li>swelling of the throat,<\/li><li>acceleration of heart rate,<\/li><li>shock, etc.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this case, you should see a doctor quickly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While their bites and bites cause only pain in the majority of human beings, they are fatal for many small animals.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns paddingsec section_cta column_space cta_article has-luminous-vivid-amber-background-color has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\" id=\"gestion-de-parasites\"><strong>Appeler <a href=\"https:\/\/plus.google.com\/100863149615855788560?hl=fr\">Ren\u00e9 G\u00e9linas<\/a> Votre exterminateur local,<\/strong> <strong>Exp\u00e9rience et int\u00e9grit\u00e9 dans la gestion parasitaire<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:15px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"has-text-align-center has-white-color has-text-color has-large-font-size wp-block-heading\"><strong>Tel&nbsp;<\/strong><a href=\"tel:5148302819\">514&nbsp;<strong>830&nbsp;<\/strong>2819<\/a><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column paddingsec is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column borderh22 is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"un-probleme-de-rongeur-1\"><strong>Tips for preventing this type of infestation<\/strong><\/h2>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To prevent European red ants from infesting your home, you need to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Clean your home thoroughly.
