Because the red ants in the room move around, the whole body is naturally covered with various bacteria and viruses and some parasitic eggs.

5. What are the specific requirements for controlling red ants?

The red ants in the living room are not listed as "four pests", and the city Ivy Association has no mandatory disinfection regulations in this regard. However, it is really an indoor pest and needs to be prevented and killed. The principle of prevention and control of "four pests" is that social public institutions are funded by the government, and enterprises, institutions, collectives and individual residents take the principle of "who contributes, who benefits" to jointly prevent and control vectors such as the four pests and protect people's health. In order to effectively control and eliminate red ants, it is necessary to:

(1) unify organization, thoughts, actions and medicines.

Residents who are attacked by red ants or cockroaches should take the initiative to get in touch with local street communities, real estate and other departments to get support and help. The above-mentioned departments should assist in organizing and mobilizing, unify the thinking time, comprehensively carry out environmental management, and regularly apply pesticides to sterilize and achieve remarkable results. Otherwise, only a few households in a building can be treated and disinfected with drugs, which can't be treated fundamentally, and even rebound.

(2) Every household should have an overall concept, don't think that other people's homes have nothing to do with themselves, and act in unison. Whether it's killing ants or cockroaches, don't think that the pests will be gone after one dose of medicine, and it's all over. Remember that this is not a once-and-for-all thing, and it can only be eradicated by formal governance and formal administration. Thereby purifying our living environment.
