Foot Notes:
- Broadcast pesticides rarely eliminate the colony, because they destroy foraging
worker ants before they can return to feed the colony. They also kill
beneficial insects.
- Broadcast baits generally require more than one application, because
the corn and meal based materials used to attract and feed the
toxicants to the ants spoil quickly. Also other insects and animals
eat the bait, in many cases before the offending ants have the
opportunity to feed the colony.
- Yes, if a low toxic bait is used (such as 1% boric acid) and if no
quick-kill ingredients have been added. High toxicity baits, with
quick kill ingredients, kill the worker ants not the colony. They can
also cause the worker ants to release alarm pheromones that warn and
stop other colony members from feeding on the food source. This alarm
can also stimulates the colony to increase their growth rate.
- Broadcast pesticides and baits can pollute your living areas when
they are tracked in on shoes, or blown in by wind. They also can
pollute local water supplies when it rains. (Even so called organic
baits can, when used excessively, overwhelm and pollute water supplies.)
For more information please see our
Health and Safety page.
- Broadcast pesticide treatments are more expensive, because they do
not always eliminate the problem; in fact, they may cause the colonies
to divide and actually increase, requiring many call backs for re-treatment.
- Broadcast bait treatments are more expensive because they are not
target specific and because they require a larger volume of bait
to be used. Moreover, continuous re-treatments are usually required
for long-term ant control.
- Initially, at time of purchase, AntPro bait stations may
cost more than conventional bait stations, but when properly cared
for, they will provide years of reliable service. Plus, AntPro's
patented, focused delivery on demand and spoilage retardant
reservoir features add up to considerable long-term savings.
