Thought squishing that one rogue ant solved your bug problem? Think again. You may have actually just sent an invite to the rest of the colony.
Here’s what’s really happening: the second an ant gets crushed, it releases alarm pheromones into the air, alerting every nearby worker to the scene.
So while you got rid of one ant, you just created a spike in traffic. Squishing individual scouts will never destroy the nest. As long as the colony is healthy, they’ll keep sending recruits right into your home.
