    Tip (not only for the children): Wood ant hills are especially for the extermination of large quantities of forest pests as pronounced beneficials of the forest! Therefore, only "marvel" and not "climb".
    Every ant colony destroys tens of thousands of pests or their larvae and caterpillars per day in an environment of 20 to 50 meters around the ant. Thus, in an area endangered by insect pests, there should be many ant hills to protect it well. Source: waldwissen.net
