Ants are often found in the house, as well as around the garden.
They are generally attracted to sugars, sweets, and other food
sources. In the case of trees, ants often do not cause the
problems but can be found after another insect or disease has
attacked the tree and caused tree sap to become exposed and
available to the ants. The ant colonies are often built
underground in the garden or under building foundations. The
best way to destroy the colonies is to use Diatomaceous Earth in
and around the colony, and Hasta La Vista, Ant! as bait to
attract and kill moving ants. Gardens and outdoor areas can be
sprayed with Monterey Termite and Carpenter Ant Control Spray,
to help control the movement of the ants. If ants are on trees,
their presence is likely a symptom of another insect attack,
which should first be identified and treated.
