Ant Bite

Hello All,

I am not sure if i should be asking this here but anyways i will share. I have a strange problem at my new accommodation. I see some black ants crawling in to my house (though it is very rare) but i am very allergic to these black ant bites. They leave a very painful sting and the body part swells for like 3days with extreme pain. I have already had 7 stings so far and i am spraying as much anti insecticide as possible but still i am very afraid of this little creatures and to add to my fear one of my colleague told me that he has witnessed people who had to be hospitalized and injected with anti venom as they experienced suffocation after this ant bite. I am an Indian and we do not find this particular species in our country. I would just like to know if anyone on QL has experienced such ant bites in Qatar. This are black tough ants and are very difficult to be crushed even by an adult.

Kindly advice if anyone knows of a solution to this problem. Which hospital has such anti venoms available to reduce the risk.

yeah! i had the same ant bite recently and it swelled up my face badly and it hurts a lot. i want to know the name of this specie of ant. all we can do to get rid of it is to keep precausions in home. like not eating in bedrooms, keep your kitchen clean. these insects they like sweet. try to keep lobby and rooms clean from sweet crumb. and when ever u see them crush them.

Ants are too much in Qatar, i dont know from where these they are coming from? My kids are bitem by ants number of times and me to, I have ready stock of medicine/cream at home. Pest control is not a permanent solution, after the effect of pest control medicine, it will come again like crocroaches (the best pest control for cocroach is GOOD BYE ROACHES") i dont have any cocroaches at my home for long two years after apply this one, this is just for information.
