Argentine Ants
Argentine Ant Control (using Liquid Ant Bait)
The argentine ant has had great success in
adapting to new environments, and in many documented cases dominating, and
replacing native ant species. It is considered a significant pest and is believed
to be a native of Argentina and Brazil.
University of California at Riverside Research
Site - AntPro used to
control Argentine ants in Vineyards and
Citrus Groves.
In urban environments, Argentine ants literally overrun homes and other
structures in large numbers, and in addition, protect insects that attack
garden plants and other landscape growth.

In agricultural areas such as California and
Florida, argentine ants have a serious negative impact because they protect aphids,
mealy bugs and scale for the purpose of harvesting their honeydew. Another trait
is that neighboring argentine ant colonies inter mingle and do not come in conflict
with each other. During the winter, the colonies sometimes join together to
winter over. Their colonies are fast growing and generally contain more than one
queen. They have no soldier caste, all of the workers are aggressive predators.
Large sums of money have been spent not only in
the United States but also abroad, in Australia, France, South Africa and New
Zealand among others. The bulk of the monies spent have been delegated to
broadcast pesticides which have long lasting negative effects on beneficial
insects, wildlife and the environment as a whole.

"Most Important: Do not spray or spread
insecticides inside or outside your home. This
alerts the ants to danger and causes them to stop their feeding and
begin to reproduce in larger numbers."

Argentine ants generate strong pheromone trails
when foraging. They can be easily tracked. In many areas, you will see them
pathing three and four abreast. When Ant Pro, filled with the appropriate
liquid ant bait, is placed where the ants traverse, the bait is irresistible and continually
available to them. Ant Pro ant bait stations are the smart choice to get rid of this pest.
With Argentine Ants you should not spray or spread
insecticides inside or outside your home. This
alerts the ants to danger and causes them to stop their feeding and
begin to reproduce in larger numbers.
