eHow Garden – How To Get Rid of Ants
Hi I’m often asked how do I get rid of sugar ants well sugar ants really is a generic term for a lot of different ants
00:00:09
I’m Michael pH Enza with advantage pest control and I’m going to provide you with some information that should be
00:00:14
very helpful sugar ants like I said are kind of a generic term for any kind of an ant that goes for sweets it could be
00:00:21
the crazy ant they’re the ones that real tiny and you see them going all different directions doesn’t look like
00:00:27
there’s any rhyme or reason or it could be the odorous house aunt and the odorous house ant is kind of easily
00:00:33
identify because it’ll be a nice neat little line but they’re both going after the same thing sweets you know so the
00:00:39
sugars and syrups and anything like that not that they don’t also eat protein other ants and other bugs they’re really
00:00:47
pretty aggressive predators so how do we get rid of them well the first thing is always an integrated pest control is to
00:00:54
seal up the house you know cracks and crevices should be cocked and weather stripping put underneath doors get rid
00:01:02
of the food sources but now you need to find out first is this actually a sweet eater so you can put down just a little
00:01:09
bit of sugar or some kind of a syrup and see if they’re going towards that they are then you can put down a pesticide
00:01:17
and a safe pesticide will work here a lot of biopesticides dusts and sprays or work perfectly well put it along the
00:01:24
path that they’re following from the colony to that sugar then you can replace the sugar with a sweet bait so
00:01:32
now you’re not only killing them along the path so when they clean them groom themselves they’ll ingest the the poison
00:01:38
they’re also taking a bait back to kill off the colony this double approach I found to be very effective if you have a
00:01:45
really bad infestation coming from the outside you can put down something like a paratha riod or a pre threw in
00:01:51
time-release granules around the perimeter of the house and that’ll kill them off really really well and it’s
00:01:57
biodegradable which is really nice so hopefully this has been helpful and I’m Michael pH Enza have a good day.
