Pests We Treat Photo Album: Food Store Has Trouble with Pavement Ants in Deal, NJ
As one of the workers of this store in Deal, NJ, was cleaning up the exterior of the building, they came across a rather large trail of pavement ants!
Big Nest on the Side
I began inspecting and found a large colony of pavement ants emerging from a tiny gap in the pavement on the side of the building.
One Long Trail
After following their trail, I realized that they were marching from one side of the building to the other, which was over 30 feet!
Treatment for Pavement Ants
I applied a flushing agent directly into the crack. This application will quickly exterminate the ants and flush them out of hiding.
Residual Along the Exterior
I then treated the emerging ants and the entire exterior of the building with a liquid residual. Afterward, I treated the grassy area with a granular bait.
Pavement Ants Exterminated
The ants will come in contact with either of these treatments, return to their nest, and share them with one another, including their queen. By doing this, the treatments are rapidly spread throughout the colony, and shortly after, the pavement ants are eliminated.
