ghost ant, not interested
By Buck on 07/10/2015
I live in central FL and have had ghost ant problems off and on for some time now. In the past I have used bait gels(388b advance and advion). 388b did a okay job but ants come back, Advion ants loved. I feed them every day for about a mouth, they would swarm this bait and come every day for more.so I got Maxforce Ants ignored it.so i mixed it with Advion. Seemed to work a little bit. I know the theory of get the queen and the colony dies. I have also read how ghost ants can and will split the colony and come up with another queen when necessary. It was time to get serious.I got a spray, PT Phantom. Used it where ever they were trailing and into the cracks I found them going into. Killed them dead on contact. As I would spray they would come out some other crack. I continued chasing them around for several days.Would also find them dead the next day. Thought I had all of them gone. I guess the eggs hatched 3 or 4 days later so went after them again. I think i have finely have won the war after many battles.

Somewhat successful

At first the application brought thousands more ants than we were already having, but I expected this. Now, it is two weeks later, and after two more applications, we are still having the ant problem. I placed them inside and outside the house. I know there is improvement, but now I've used up all the bait. My next move will be to go ahead and call the professionals in.

Not Yet Determined Results

The ant infestation is now gone. I don't know if this is thanks to the Demand CS treatment or a half teaspoonful of Maxforce Bait. The granules seem too large for the treatment of sugar ants. A strategic 1/4 teaspoon application goes a long way.
