Argentine Ants - Effective Ant Control

Effective Ant Control

According to the NPMA Field Guide to Structural Pests, ants are one of the most successful group of insects. These social insects live in colonies with nests usually located on the ground. Ants usually make their way indoors looking for shelter, water and/or food. While ants will feed on most foods (meats, eggs, oils and fats), most ants are attracted to sweets and come inside looking for such. 

Ants in Southern California

The Argentine ant is well-established in the Southern California landscape and is the ant species that is treated for most commonly in residential locations throughout Southwest Riverside County. 

Why Do Ants Come Inside?

Ants need water to survive and moisture is a contributing factor to what makes an appropriate nesting site. Argentine ants can enter residences when outside conditions are either too dry or too wet. It is at these times that they can be found nesting indoors near plumbing access lines under bathroom and kitchen sinks and sometimes come pouring out when a homeowner turns on the bathtub spout. 

Ant Supercolonies

Argentine ants are not aggressive toward other Argentine ants and will often join together to create huge supercolonies. This behavior helps Argentine ant colonies survive. Argentine ants begin to build up colonies in the spring, which die off in the fall only to resume their numbers again the following spring. 

Ant Trails

Argentine ants can be identified by their continuous trails, which Argentine worker ants follow when they are scouting for food and water.

Ant Satellite Colonies

Argentine ants can be a difficult ant species to control for a variety of reasons. First, Argentine ants are highly adapted to living with humans. These ants set up satellite colonies connected by trails. The advantage of establishing multiple subcolonies is that the colony as  a whole is not eliminated if one satellite colony is eradicated. 

Ant control can be achieved with the help of our customers. It is essential that certain conditions contributing to the ant infestation be corrected and treated to achieve optimum results. 

Tips to Avoid Ant Infestations

Ants That Won't Go Away

Just when you think you have eliminated your pest problem by ridding your pantry of ants, they can come back. It could be that you were successful in your battle against a satellite colony invading your sugar, but another subcolony is nesting in a nearby wall void and is now coming out of the electrical outlet and plumbing fixtures in your kids' bathroom. AmeriGuard Pest Defense uses top quality products specifically for ant control. The ants will not even realize that they are trailing over the product and unintentionally carrying it back to the nest where they share food and groom each other. Termidor has a plague-like effect and will travel back to the colony where the nest is.
