How Do Ants Communicate with Each Other?

[Spirit]

Hey PF ppl,

I read on may places about Ants having a communication system among them that is 'professional'.

Can anyone help me reach some useful pages regarding the matter. I espceially looking for a table or so about the chemicals they send and what they mean. Ofcourse any other detailed info related in other directions is appreciated.

On a side note, do Ants communicate as well using sound waves or specific physical body touching? or just checmicals?
