Biologically, the pheromones are an awful idea. Being in a state of permanent sexual arousal would speed up their metabolism and energy usage significantly, forcing these creatures to collect more food so as to not starve, which means that they expend more energy searching, leading to these creatures being caught in a hellish landscape of permanent hunger and exhaustion, interrupted only by the brief periods of time reproduciing that, even then, would have to be carefully rationed and timed so as to ensure there are enough workers collecting food that the colony doesnt starve.
