You will find descriptions and recommendations for control of the more common household ants such as the the: Argentiine Ants Carpenter Ants, Red Fire Ants, Ghost Ants, Odorous House Ants , Pavement Ants and Leaf Cutter Ants. You will also find links to other entomology sites concerned with ants and a handy link to determine the difference between the termite or the ant .The Use of Non Repellent Insecticides:A good ant bait program is the recommended way for ant control or to eliminate most ants unless you use a nonrepellent insecticide such as: Dominion 2L(for Carpenter Ants,Argentine and Pavement Ants)Termidor SC or Phantom. *Ant baits may be used with Termidor or Phantom because they will not contaminate the baits for even greater control. We have a section on ant baiting tips to help you with the recommended baits. Ant Baits recommended for the LARGER CARPENTER ANT CONTROL : Advance 375 A and Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel are excellent baits for the larger carpenter ants, when used together they feed both the sugar and protein feeding cycles of these ants. The Advance 375 A feeds the protein needs while the Maxforce Carpenter Ant Bait Gel feeds the sugar requirements of the colony.
There are exceptions to baiting for carpenter ant control, and that is treating the nest directly. Ant baits recommended for the SMALLER ANTS, Including Red Fire Ants: For the protein and greese feeding needs:
For the sugar feeding needs for Florida Carpenter ants, Argentine Ants, and other structure-invading ants, excluding fire, harvester and pharoah ants
Unless you can treat the nest directly, spraying is not an effective solution for small ants, unless you use a nonrepellent insecticides or "undetectable" liquid treatments such as Dominion 2L, Termidor or Phantom. Unlike older insecticides, nonrepellent insecticides can't be smelled, tasted, or even felt by pests. So they crawl through the treated area, not knowing that by ingesting treated materials or merely contacting the insecticide, they'll die.
Non Repellents For Outside Ant Control: Dominion 2L, Termidor and PhantomSince Dominion 2L (Same as Premise 2) is a non-repellents, carpenter ants , Pavement Ants and Argentine Ants can’t detect it; instead, they come directly in contact with the active ingredient, - imidacloprid, without trailing in another area. Dominion 2L is much more economical than Termidor , but is only labeled for Carpenter Ants, Argentine and Pavement Ants. Dominion 2L is not labeled for Fire ants, Pharoah or harvester ants. Dominion 2L is labeled for outside use only and will yield- 50 gallons (strongest dilution rate) compared to Termidor SC- 12 gallons(strongest dilution rate). Termidor offers an effective, low-dose control of outdoor ant control available, with proven control of a number of nuisance ant species, even with outdoor perimeter applications at the low rate of 0.06% active ingredient. Termidor is labeled for carpenter ant control, argentine ants, big-headed ants, odorous house ants, and pavement ants Ants foraging on Termidor-treated surfaces, ingesting Termidor through normal feeding activity, or that are sprayed directly with the product will die, but not before spreading Termidor through contact throughout the ant population via the product's unique "Transfer EffectT." Termidor is easily picked up by ants, and has a quick speed of kill - 1 to 3 days - but is slow-acting enough to ensure transfer throughout the population. Termidor is only to be used outside and will yield 12-24 gallons
Phantom For Inside and Outside Ant Control:For Roach and Ant control inside use the nonrepellent insecticide product Phantom. Phantom will yield 8 gallons for ant control.
Phantom is long-lasting, and effective at controlling entire ant and roach populations at low doses. Phantom provides superior roach and ant control by striking ants inside your home where they cause the most trouble. But if you have an ant problem, the ants in your house probably have their nests outside-they travel back and forth More Information: Phantom Termite/Insecticide

There are about 10,000 kinds, or "species," of ants. Within each species there are usually many different types. Ants are social insects that live in colonies and are some of the most successful insects .Ant colonies include one or more queens, as well as workers, eggs, larvae, and pupae. The worker ants maintain their developed structures known as nests. Nests protect the ants against their enemies, offer some protection against extremes of weather, and often are placed close to water and food sources. Some ant species nest in the ground, oftentimes under concrete or slabs.Some species are found in wood, such as fence posts, dead logs, hollow trees, or within buildings. Termites are also found in wood, but their damage will be a lot more extensive Ants cannot eat wood as do termites because they can't digest cellulose. |
