How can I control the contamination of ants?
The most effective way to control the contamination of ants is to find a nest and destroy the colony inside, including the queens. Although this is not always practical, especially if it is contaminated outdoors, there are strategies that make it easier. One is to spread honey or other delicacy at the moment of contamination of ants and observe the line of ants who receive food and take it back to the nest. The line will end up in the nest and as soon as its location is determined, the colony can be smoothed by soaking the area around it with an insecticide. If the contamination of ants leads to a slot in a wall or under the floor, the colony can usually be destroyed by spraying wood around it. In addition, spraying ants in an area where the infestapopopopopopopis has been reported to provide temporary relief, but it is unlikely that it will be effective in the long run. These ants are likely to represent a small part of the colony. The line simply changes the direction to avoid sprayed areas, and the contamination of ants will continue in another part of the house or property.
Haiting ants with poison are another effective way to get rid of ants. The advantage of this method is that the ants take the poison back to the nest and feed it to the members of the colony, including the queens, so finding the location of the nest unnecessary. There are many baits in food and hardware stores and can be placed anywhere where the ants are attacked. It is not recommended to spray ants near the bait because the spray discourages other ants from acceptance.
The seaing of the contamination of the ants can be prevented from a motherboard, door sills, windows and holes where the house enters the house. A special effort to seal cracks or other openings where the ants entering from the outside are observed. In addition, the spraying of insecticides around the perimeter of the house acts as another discouraging means for ants and should be carried out at regular intervals. In order to effectively prevent infestationAnts, the insecticide should be sprayed to the ground in 2 to 6 feet (0.6 to 1.82 meters) around the foundation and on the foundation wall.
