Ants might be small in size but their presence makes a huge difference in the house. Starting from food to drink, they are seen walking on the floor. It is common for ants to be in the house. They roam around carelessly from kitchens to other rooms.

If any sweet is left open somewhere in the house, then they automatically march towards it. It is said that one queen ant can give birth to millions of ants. In such a situation, you can see lakhs of ants in a queue at one place.
