Odorous Ant
Odorous Ant
Learn about the Odorous Ant.
Nest site/characteristics: Odorous house ant colonies may contain 100,000 ants with many queens. Super colonies may exist where food, water, and brood are exchanged between satellite locations. Indoors, odorous house ants nest in wall voids, especilly around hot-water pipes and heaters, and in creviecs around sinks and cupboards. Outdoors, nests are often found in soil, usually under objects. Odorous house ants are most likely to enter buildings when colonies become very large and natural food and water sources become scarce and when climate conditions are extreme such as a drought or flood.
Feeding Preferences: When indoors, odorous house ants prefer sweets during mot of the warm season, but will eat high-protien foods greasy meats, and cheese as dictated by colony requirements. Outdoors, they feed on honeydew, plant secretions, and sometimes seeds and insects.
Control: Locating the nests is crucial. Follow the trail of foraging workers back from their food source. Thoroughly treat exposed colonies using Tempo SC Ultra, Tempo Ultra WP, or Suspend SC Insecticide with DeltaGard.
-Dust voids of outside ground level walls and infested interior walls with insecticide dust, Tempo 1% Dust or Delta Dust work great. Access wall voids via cracks and crevices, electrical outlets, and pipe chases.
-A perimeter treatment with Tempo SC Ultra, Tempo Ultra WP, Suspend SC Insecticide with DeltaGard, or DeltaGard Granules will keep odorous house ants from entering buildings. Spot treat entry points (i.e. window and door frames and utility entries).
-Bait with MaxForce Ant Bait Stations, MaxForce FC Ant Gel Bait and/or MaxForce Fine Granular Insect Bait. Apply bait along trails, close to water sourcs, and ground entry points. Odorous house ants' feeding preferences may change quickly and without warning so be prepared to use multiple bait formulatons. Bait in sufficient amounts to ensure adequate exposure of the active ingredient to the extended colony. If odorous house ants are feeding on protein goods, apply MaxForce Fine Granular Insect Bait as a broadcast applicaton in the yard.
