Recently I have found out that lots of people don't even know the fact that the flying ants does exist. So I thought of writing my own experience with some shots I found in internet about the black flying ants. This post is especially dedicated to one of my friends, Jenisha, who too thinks that flying ants doesn't exist.
Since my childhood, I have been attracted by the insects. Some might find crawling spiders too disgusting and weird but I find them to be a gentle animal with some extraordinary quality like metabolism control and their web made of silk which when combined can be used as a bullet-proof vest. Similarly, ants had made me so curious to know the fact like where they live, where they take the foods they carry, etc. Some might call it a sin, but I really have killed a lot of ants in my life while i was a child. I just cannot bare it when the little red ants crawl into my bread or in any other foods I have. So I have burnt so many of those poor ants. The other ants I killed were black running or marching ants. In that black ants group, I had found so many of ants with wings. So I had asked my parents and they had told me that ants grow wings when they are about to die. In several Bollywood movies too there is one dialog that says, "When ant's death comes, they bear their wings." I don't know how much truth does this comment has since I haven't seen them die with wings unless I kill them myself.
My bad experience with the black ants has been this month of June. I have been working with my posts all night and when my lights are on, lots of bugs get attracted towards it. I don't mind them crawling and gathering around my lights unless they bite me or give a foul smell. It was okay until the black ants began to spread throughout my room. At first I thought since they are dying (having wings and all), I won't do anything and let them fly back. Soon after, they began reaching to my body and instantly some of the bit me. The bite was so much painful. I think their bite is like a pinch from nails, difference being a big rash and a tear in your skin. It is so much painful.
I have been telling my experience to my friends about ants and I found out that lots of them even don't know that the flying ants even exists. They thought I might be confused with some different insects. May be they thought it was a termite or some other insects, but I am dead sure about it being an ant as I have seen it from my childhood. So I went through Internet to find some pictures of them in some sites and they do say there are black flying ants and some of them are carpenter ants, but these carpenter ants are too big.
Okay. I guess lot of my friends will get my story and reality and the fact that the flying ant does exist. Those night-flying black ants. So be aware of those fliers my friends because they might look sweet but their bite will make you hate them. Trust me!

ReplyDeletehow do i get rid of them...i just killed 2 and i resanttly brock out in a rash!!!my room is clean so why would they be in my room?
ReplyDeleteTry spraying them with bug repeller. But nothing seemed to work when they come daily. I tried repeller which killed a lot of the ants but the next day it was same story again. I would suggest you hire an exterminator for the job done. Otherwise, a rash a day will be on your way. :P ... sad but true.
ReplyDeleteYour website is great but needs more information on the different types of Black Flying Ants for anyone to look up and use your website so it can be the only website they need to use to get information. If you work on this correction that will be great and your website will be use more often.
ReplyDeleteThank you
i just got bitten by one of these 2weeks back. It's very painful and it feels more like a sting. the pain went away the next day, but it fingers came swollen again yesterday. i wonder what these creatures are named? so that i can get a proper treatment.
ReplyDeleteThey are also known as carpenter ants. The sting bites will subside within a week. What I did was tried to squeeezed all the venom off the bite areas. The procedure is painful but the swelling and itching pain will go away soon after that. I hope it helps for you guys.
ReplyDeleteI JUST EXPERIENCED THIS LAST NIGHT.IT LOOKED LIKE A SCENE FROM A HORROR MOVIE. MY WHOLE WINDOW WAS COVERD WITH THE TINY ANTS. LIL CRITTERS PACK A MEAN BITE. THE FLYING ONES ARE NO BETTER. I MUST'VE HAD A SWARM OF THEM.I'M HOPING I DON'T EXPERIENCE THIS AGAIN. IT MAKES MY HAIR STAND ON END JUST THINKING ABOUT IT. SO BELIEVE ME I KNOW EXACTLY WHAT YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT. THEY ARE HORRIBLE....OUCH!
