1.Maintain colony size and health: One of the best reason for fight is maintain colony size and colony health. Everyone know ant colony has Queen, and queen only can lay eggs. The reason for ant fight with own colony is to protect the status of their queen, when another female start to lay eggs. When ant colony grows too long, it can cause lack of food and colony location.
2.Food sources: Ant colony needs lot of foods. If two large colony are located in same area, that will be competing for foods. So two colony automatically conflit each other.
3.Protection of their colony: Ants are similar to human. If a colony recognized it's belong invaded by another group of ant, they will fight upto death to protect their colony. Typically, ants fight by swarming which is when multiple ants surround and attack a single ant. So ants like human, it will fight as hard as possible to protect their home.
