    Know Your Target and How Big It Is

    I have a customer that I have been servicing for two years. She originally started the service because of an ant problem that she was having in her house. Specifically, she was having an issue with flying ants. I have treated inside her house with Phantom and Optiguard Flex, and use Delta Dust in her wall voids in the one wall where the ants emerge. Sometimes the ants are gone for a couple ...

    Find Where Opportunity Knocks

    I have a client who has odorous house ants behind his shower wall. I have baited and sprayed in his crawl and bathroom and even calked around his pipes, and yet he still keeps having them return. But they’re nowhere else in the house and I can’t find them outside. What can I do?

    Look No Further

    I have been using Advion ant gel bait gel since August 2008. Since that time, I have purchased two other brands of ant bait gel with very disappointing results. Another product, Optigard, works fairly well but, due to my lack of proper research, I find it too is a neonicotinoid. I want to find an ant bait gel that uses a different mode of action. Any thoughts or recommendations on this matter?

    You Making Me Crazy!

    I’ve been power spraying with Talstar Pro mixed with Exponent. It may just be crazy thinking, but it seems like, for some reason, sometimes right after I spray people start getting ants inside. My question is, could I be putting too much down causing the ants to detect the pesticide and move indoors to escape? I’ve been mixing at .012% using a large nozzle.

    Termites Are a Treat for Ants. Wood? Not So Much.

    I have been seeing ants in termite monitors a lot. These are not carpenter ants. Do ants eat cellulose? I know carpenter ants will. What about others?

    Ants Everywhere

    I'm having trouble controlling ants and the products I use don't seem to be working. I have so many call backs! One customer has what I believe are Pavement Ants in their back yard, which has pavers in most of the back yard. There are little sand mounds everywhere and I hesitate to spray them just in case the residents walk on them with bare feet. I have used Advance granules, Intice granules, ...

    A Matter of Ethics?

    I have been wondered whether pesticides applied in one might redirect bugs to another yard. For example, if ants are trailing along the lower part of a home and they are simply sprayed, but their home is in a nearby bush or a fence line, would you feel it is irresponsible to spray and cause the ants to move next door or elsewhere? I think it's an ethical issue and that the cost of pest control ...

    Mound, Thatch, or Field - Same Ant

    I have a problem with black mound ants at a school in Central NY. Could you please let me know the best choice of product and application methods? I have heard that you are to dig up the mound and place granules and mix it up few times and apply more granules. This is the first time I have dealt with mound ants.
