Pharaoh Ants

Pharoh Ant

Pharaoh ants usually appear in ant trails that can be followed to some kind of food or water source. Because of their wide foraging areas, the use of sprays or aerosols will usually cause the colony to split and increase reproduction rates. DO NOT SPRAY ANTS INDOORS! Because their nests are well hidden inside walls, it is usually best to use baits to eliminate the problem. Terro-PCO or Maxforce FC are extremely effective professional baits. Place the stations at a rate of three to six per average size room wherever ants are present. Always consult the product label for more detailed information. The three rules of using bait stations are as follows:

  1. Wash your hands BEFORE touching the bait.
  2. Do not use insecticides or cleansers on or near the bait.
  3. Once the bait station is placed DO NOT MOVE IT, except to replace it in exactly the same spot.

Treat outdoors against all exterior walls with MaxForce Fine Granule Insect Bait. This bait allows faster control because ants will often feed on both sides of an exterior wall.
