Argentine Ant
Learn about the Argentine Ant.
Nest site/characteristics: Argentine ant colonies live in moist areas near a food source. Colony numbers fluctuate seasonally, ranging from one hundred to several hundred thousand workers and many queens. Foraging workers follow trails; winged queens can sometimes be found among them. Argentine ants live outdoors in shallow nests in moist areas, including under boards and stones, beneath plants and along sidewalks. Argentine ants also will nest indoors. When outdoor conditions are too wet or too dry, Argentine ants invade buildings by trailing along tree and shrub branches, utility lines and wires.
Feeding Preferences: Argentine ants prefer sweets such as honeydew, fruit juices and plant secretions, but will also forage on proteins (meat, insects, and eggs) and fats and even attack small, vulnerable animals.
Control: When Argentine ant colonies are eliminated, new colonies many quickly take their place. Effective management programs should 1)correct conducive conditions and seal possible entries; 2)find and treat existing colonies; 3)apply perimeter treatments; and 4) use baits.
-For colonies living in soil, under mulch or under stones or debris, treat each mound thoroughly with Tempo SC Ultra, Tempo Ultra WP, or Suspend SC Insecticide with DeltaGard and apply a perimeter treatment.
-For effective perimeter treatments, apply Tempo SC Ultra, Tempo Ultra WP, Suspend SC Insecticide with DeltaGard, or DeltaGard Granules.
-To treat colonies in wood or behind stone or brick veneer, drill holes into galleries and inject Tempo 1% Dust. Access wall voids via electrical outlet and plumbing installation holes and inject an insecticide dust or residual spray. Do not apply liquids in or around electrical equipment.
-Place MaxForce Ant Bait Stations indoors or outdoors adjacent to structures and immediately next to any trails or close to areas where ants are numerous. Or use MaxForce FC Ant Gel Bait indoors where ants enter the structure, or outdoors next to points of entry and areas where ants find water sources.
-Apply MaxForce Fine Granular Insect Bait as a perimeter treatment, along ant trails and around nest sites. In prevent new ant colonies from entering the structure.
