Pharaoh Ant Elimination Products
Pharaoh Ants Ant Index Pest Control
Successful pharaoh ant elimination involves the use of professional
ant baits. Indoors you should use ant bait stations, ant bait gel,
fine granular bait or a combination of these materials. For exterior
perimeter treatment, a granular bait is used for elimination. To keep
pharaoh ants (or other ant, insect pests) from re-infesting a structure, a surface
spray can be used.
Two key points in choosing pharaoh ant elimination products:
- Never use an insecticide spray in the same area where a bait is in use.
- Do not use an insecticide spray for existing pharaoh ant populations, as this will actually make the problem worse. DOMINION PL is a non-repellent insecticide which will not interfere with ant baits.
