army ant

The first sign of a ant infestation is usually the sighting of numerous workers throughout the home. However, the presence of workers alone is not conclusive evidence that a colony is established within a structure. army Carpenter workers tend to roam far and wide looking for food, and some transient workers are sure to enter any home located in a wooded area. Signs of an active infestation include the presence ant and army of fibrous sawdust ant beneath slit-like openings in wood army members and faint, rustling noises in walls and woodwork. A positive indication that an active, mature infestation is present is the emergence of large winged ants from walls, ceilings, or crawl spaces. ant galleries in wood have smooth surfaces and can be differentiated from subterranean termite damage by the absence of "mud" in the galleries. Ants normally excavate wood that has been softened by decay or other insects, ant however, they will tunnel into sound wood when conditions are favorable. Nests and galleries may be located a considerable distance from the point or points of entry. In addition to structural army and ant lumber, sites such as hollow-core doors, window headers, wall voids, and foam panels are particularly attractive to ants.

When treating, walk around the outside of your home twice: once to spray cracks, crevices, entry points and the second time to fan-spray army any surface where they might crawl or come into contact with your product. Any shrubs, small trees or bushes should also be treated ant as well as the ground around them and any mulched areas in your landscaping Although Tempo WP is safe to use indoors for almost any type of pest (when directions are followed), army you should not have to in the case of ladybug infestations. Your vacuum will be your best tool indoors. In severe cases, Delta Dust or Drione Dust should be applied to indoor cracks, crevices, wall voids, hiding places and entry points. Dusts should be ant applied with a Crusader Duster. I prefer Delta Dust (because it is the world''s only water-proof dust) but either Delta Dust or Drione Dust will be a good job, if dusting is necessary. To help prevent infestations of ladybugs, treat the exterior of your home with Tempo WP in the Summer, Fall and Spring. Each application will most likely last between 4 and 12 weeks but for best results, try to time your spray treatment with the normal time of year (in your area) when ladybugs usually appear. One or two weeks before activity begins or at first sign of ladybugs (or their larvae) is best.
