How To Prevent  Argentine  Ants

• As with all insects that may gain access into your home, consider sealing up with caulk any small crack and crevice in the foundation or window areas where outside pests could enter. Get rid of any excess vegetation, such as tree branches near your home. They may serve as a highway into your home to enter.
• Keep tight lids on trash containers and clean up any food particles, particularly sweet foods.
• Argentine ants are attracted to food and water, so eliminate any standing water such as birdbaths, grill covers, and standing water in flower pots.
• Firewood piles may be ideal nesting sites for Argentine ants, so you may need to remove them.
• Since Argentine ants are attracted to food particles, especially sugary foods, eliminate them in your kitchen or other house areas.

Get rid of Argentine ants with the Mega-Colony Ant Kit.

Argentine ants are megacolony ants with an enormous capacity for growth and expansion due to their many queens and splintering off to new colonies. These ants can have many nests with hundreds of queens and thousands of workers. Their usual habitation is outside, but these ants can present a problem when they come inside foraging for food. They rarely nest in walls of buildings, as some other ants commonly do. They enter to hunt and then exit, returning to the nest. Since Argentine ants are so invasive, it may be difficult to control with one single product. This kit combines recommended ant baits and a non-repellent insecticide.
