ARGENTINE ANTS:
Argentine ant colonies are often so
large--biologists call them super
colonies--that it would take a
community effort to finally get rid of
Argentine ants once and for all. You
see, the reason Argentine ant colonies
get so big is because their similar
genetic makeup allows ants from what
would usually be competing colonies
to travel amongst one colony or
another. In fact, they will even team up
with other colonies, thus creating the
feared super colony, with literally
millions of workers and thousands of
queens. They are indeed a force to be
reckoned with. Until scientists come up
with a way to finally rid our local
habitats of these foreign invaders, here
are some things you can do to help
control Argentine ant populations on
your property and in your home
To make sure
Argentine Ants can not get into your
home, you must have the outside of
your house sealed properly. Argentine
ants need a hole less than 1 mm in
diameter to get into your home, so
caulk those spots where you think
Argentine Ants might gain entrance,
particularly on ground floors and on
your foundations. For doors and
windows, weather stripping can help
fill gaps where ants could simply walk
right in. Make sure your window
screens and door screens are fitted
properly and do not have tears. I have
seen ant trails going up and into a
screen door. It is intriguing, really.
Talcum powder may
also be used for getting rid of
Argentine Ants, or at least preventing a
total invasion of your home. Who
knows why ants don ot like talcum
powder, but this is an age old trick. If
you notice Argentine ants coming into
your home where perhaps you have
not sealed properly, dust the floor with
talcum powder. The ants will make
contact with it at first, but never again
after that. You can do this all along the
baseboards of your home if you have
to.
To get rid of argentine ants that are invading
your
garden, you may want to try Food
Grade diatomaceous earth.
Diatomaceous earth really is a miracle
of nature. Professional gardeners have
been using this stuff for a while now to
line their gardens, preventing crawling
pests from gaining entrance to their
gardens. If you do not want more
trouble with aphids and scale insects,
and you are in an area where Argentine
Ants are known to inhabit, you should
probably try lining either your whole
garden with diatomaceous earth or
surrounding just the plants that are
particularly susceptible to aphid and
scale insect infestations.
To get rid of
Argentine Ants that are invading your
yard, you may want to try broadcast
baiting with protein-based granular ant
baits like those made by Advance,
Maxforce, and Niban. Granular baits
are spread across a lawn much like
fertilizer is, using the same kind of
delivery device, in fact. This technique
is particularly effective for larger yards
and properties, but is temporary.
Because the colonies are so big,
chances are they have sister colonies
not found on your property. You may
want to bait for Argentine ants once or
twice a month to keep their
populations at bay.
To get rid if
Argentine
Ants that are invading your home,
brand name sweet baits like Terro and
Ant Bait Gels are your best bet. These
super-saturated mixtures usually
contain a kind of sweet syrup and a
poison like borax (otherwise known as
boric acid), a slow-acting poison that
the ants carry back to the colony, and
feed to the larvae and queens. If you
have Argentine Ants coming into your
home, identify where the Argentine
ants are trailing, and put the sweet
baits next to those. You should see
fewer Argentine ants in your home
within four or five days.
Controlling Argentine Ants in a Garden
Argentine ants present a danger not
only to your local habitat and farmers'
crops, but they also present a danger
to your garden. Argentine ants are
notorious for tending to scales and
aphids, two of the most common and
destructive garden pests. They will
even go so far as to attack and kill
beneficial insects that feed on aphids,
namely those lady bugs native to your
locale. Ensuring that Argentine ants do
not get into your garden is paramount
to retaining a healthy garden in the
south and southwest. As I mentioned
before, diatomaceous earth is a
perfectly natural and effective way to
ensure that ground-dwelling insects
stay out of your garden, provided you
have cordoned off any land-based
travel into the garden with the
diatomaceous earth. I would not try
broadcast baiting with protein-based
ant bait granules in your garden
because you do not want those
chemicals on vegetation you may eat
later, and you do not know how they
might affect your prize-winning
petunias. What I would suggest are a
couple of shallow plates or bowls filled
with a mixture of sugar water and boric
acid. The recipe is simple and is as
follows: 4 teaspoons of boric acid, 3
cups of hot water (to dissolve the boric
acid), and 1 cup of sugar.
