its formic acid...
Ants squirt formic acid as a defense mechanism, which is acidic in nature.
Formic acid is the acid found in ant squirt. It is responsible for the burning sensation experienced when an ant bites or sprays its acidic venom as a defense mechanism.
An ant sting contains formic acid, which is classified as an acidic compound. This acid is injected into the skin when an ant stings as a means of defense.
Yes it is because it is not alkali or neutral it has th pH of 2.
Ants release a solution containing formic acid. The pH is of course under 7.
This is kinda what you're hoping for I hope. Acid + alkali (tablet) = salt + water (neutral).
Some (but not all) species of ant squirt formic acid to defend against attack.
An acid, being mainly formic acid (= methanoic acid , H-C(=O)(-OH), the simplest organic acid).By the way, the name 'formic' comes from the Latin name for 'ants' which begins with: FormicidaeExamples:black ant: Formica nigrared ant : F. rufa

No, ants do not squirt acid. Some ant species have venomous stingers that they use for defense, but the venom is not acidic. It is important to avoid being bitten or stung by ants as some species can cause painful reactions.
