The body shape of the odorous ant with a sword shape is similar to that of the common black ant, and the color is yellowish brown. The difference with the yellow ant is that when it is startled or crushed, it will emit a very unpleasant smell, and it is very painful to sting, more severe than mosquitoes. Here is an introduction on how to deal with this kind of ant.

What to do after being bitten by the odorous ant with a sword shape

Quickly put on long-sleeved shirts and long pants with the legs, even though it is likely to be a hot summer when small ants appear, it is necessary to wear them or you will be bitten.蚊帐 is not effective, as the small ants are not very big, only 2-3mm, and they can climb in and out without any problem. It is best to wear tight-fitting white clothes, as white is easy to detect small ants.

If your bed, table, or chair has several legs, use foam double-sided tape or reverse the transparent tape or glue the tree glue to prevent them from climbing up, which can at least ensure safety in a certain area.

I have tried insect repellent oil and cooling oil, which are not very effective. Use natural baking soda or soap solution (the kind used to wash bedding) to apply it, and it is best to mix edible alkali with water to form a paste. The reason for the swelling and pain is formic acid, which is a strong alkali with a pH of 1-2. The effect of neutralization with alkali will be better. This wound will take several weeks to a few months to heal, and it will turn black because it has been eroded by acid. It is felt that squeezing out the poison fluid from the wound is better for healing, but it is not recommended to do so in case of infection.

Cooling oil is basically not effective. Use insect repellent with insect repellent oil, which can ensure a few hours of peace.

No matter what kind of ant poison is used, these ants only eat insects and do not eat food. Many ant poisons and insecticides have been bought, but they are not effective. The method to deal with these ants is to remove the nest.

How to deal with the odorous ant with a sword shape

Observe where the ants come from and where the ants go out. The ants’ nests are basically around where there are many ants; smell the smell, these ants have a peculiar smell, and there is also a slight smell around the nest.

If the above methods do not work, then clean up. Tidy up everything in the bedroom of the house, check each item one by one, and pay attention to plants and wooden furniture, as their home may be inside.

After discovering the odorous ant with a sword shape, just put them in a packaging bag and throw them away. Our home is due to the small ants inside the medicinal herb pillow core. There are countless small ants inside when it is opened. When throwing them away, insecticide was sprinkled inside, not knowing if it works or not.
