It is divided into three main parts; the head, thorax, and abdomen, as shown above. There is also a small segment between the thorax and abdomen called the petiole, and is either in one or two parts according to species; some ants have a scale on the petiole itself.... More..

The way that you treat for pests depends on which stage the plants are in. Vegging plants can take poison, but is a no no for flowering plants. If you have a full blown infestation:

Veg: Doctor Doom bug bomb
Flowering: Neem tree oil

These have worked well for me in the past when I needed it.

it depends on what kind of bugs you have. Are they aphids? Fungus Gnats? Spider Mites? White Flys? Ants? Thrips? If you aren't sure what they are, then what do they look like? Do they fly, crawl, jump? some pests can be taken care of easily as adding half an inch to an inch of sand to the top of your soil.

also, is this indoor or outdoor?
