So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

Classes Of Ants

By Deborah Carter


Ants can be seen the world over, in any nation, at any climate. We can find them in our homes, in our lawns, and even in our workplaces. Ants live in colonies, & in a single colony are over a million other ants. There are many different types of ants. Some of the better-known kinds are the army ants, driver ants, honeypot ants, weaver ants, leaf cutter ants, fire ants, silver ants, and bulldog ants. All ant colonies are comprised of three classes of ants, namely the worker ants, the soldier ants, and the single queen ant.

Ants are of different types and are 1 of the most common creatures in the world. Regardless of their tiny They are small but terrible; they may pose a threat to humans as well as animals.

Ant behavior may be different depending on their class. Ants' color may vary from brown to black or red and their size vary from two to 25mm.

Army ants & driver ants are highly developed ants. Army ants can be found in South America & driver ants can be found in Africa. Unlike other species, they do not have permanent nests. These colonies reproduce by two ways - fission or nuptial flights.

Weaver ants, on the other hand, are those that build their nests in trees by attaching leaves together. These creatures first force the leaves together with a bridge of workers and then they sew the leaves by pressing silk producing larvae on the leaves.

Honeypot ants generally have enlarged stomachs. These ants are typically found in hot, dry places such as deserts in Australia, Africa & North America. These ants are also considered a great delicacy in some places.

Leaf cutter ants live only within their colony and feed only on fungus. They come in various sized castes to perform several functions that are to be done in the colony.

Another unique type of ant is the fire ant. These ants have a sac of poison that is filled with piperidine alkaloids.

The Australian bulldog ants are those with only one chromosome & these are amongst the biggest and most primitive varieties of ants.

You probably think that it is not a priority for you to administer pest control measures for your home right now. Although you assume that nothing will obligate you to move out, you might, one day, be putting your house up for sale because of some reason. Potential buyers would definitely avoid any property that has signs of pest infestation; they sense that a property overriden with pests is a terrible investment. For example, even you yourself would not be happy if the house you are planning to purchase is overran with termites. Moreover, if you are considering utilizing your home as a collateral for a loan, there is a greater likelihood that a lending company would refuse your loan application if they discover pest infestation when they visually assess your home. You could treat the amount you pay for an expert pest control company to assess the cost and accomplish pest eradication in your home as an investment for the future value of your home.
