Preventive Measures
Ant problems occur in homes and structures primarily because food, water and favorable nesting sites are available there. Meticulous housekeeping eliminates significant ant problems by removing needed resources. Furthermore, ant bait treatments are more effective if alternative food sources for the ants are eliminated as much as possible.
Most ants prefer to nest in soil or wood outdoors, but homes offer many favorable nest sites for certain ants. Cracks and holes in brick veneer, wall voids and structural wood close to heat and moisture sources are commonly used. Reduce water sources and nesting sites by caulking cracks and crevices, fixing leaks and replacing wet or rotten wood. Pay particular attention to ant colonies infesting potted plants or fire wood brought indoors.
Treatment
Insecticides registered for ant control are formulated as liquid sprays, dusts, fogs and baits. Many are generally labeled to control "ants," although some are specifically registered for particular ant species.
The most effective ant control is to find the nest and treat it with insecticide. An alternative is to use the workers to carry an insecticidal bait back to other colony members. In the home, extensive, undirected insecticide treatments, such as ant trail treatments or total-release aerosol fogs, are usually unsatisfactory because they kill only a few workers and often do not greatly affect the colony, the source of workers. Using surface applications on ant trails actually can make Pharaoh ant colonies divide and make the infestation worse! When home control attempts fail, seek help from a licensed commercial pest control operator.
