This is prohably not the proper name for this ant. but it docs have a tendency to go for sweets I hinking things couldn't be any worse, another ant variety moved into my sidewalk and grass area amund the back door step My guess is that I was dealing with possibly three species of ants the Pharaoh Ant. Thief Ant and Pavement Ant ’ All three of these ant species arc relatively harmless as far as bites are concerned Ihc Ihief Ant and Pave ment Ant both possess stingers, but they arc seldom used These ants are classified in the nuisance category Just their presence alone creates the nuisance I remember one morning I got up and went into the kitchen to make coffee only to be introduced to literally hundreds of ants on my kit chcn counter As far as I was con ccrncd. this simply was not accep table So I quickly started wiping the ants in to the sink with a dish doth giggling with pleasure as I scalded them to death with hot tap water After my wife finally got me calm ed down I remember that I was a vector control manager and there must be a logical more sensible way to control this problem After my unprofessional behavior in the kitchen. I quickly got ready for work and decided to feed the dog Her dish is located near the back door in the utility room Still being morning. I sleepily dumped so u k doggie chow in the dish, but the dog wouldn't cat it As I was thinking how ungrateful the dog was until I noticed that the doggie chow was moving At closer inspection. I discovered that those darn 'Sugar Ants" like doggie chow too After taking care of the dog. I was ready to go to work so I kissed my wife good bye and walked out the back door only to find hundreds of small ants doing major excavation work on my sidewalk Of course this meant war First. I did research on the varieties I was working with The Pharaoh Ant. is very small being yellow to reddish brown in color li lends to be about an UK " long It got its name because this ant spec ies was mistakenly believed to he one of the "plagues" of the Pharaohs, men Honed in the Old Testament Swanns of males and females arc mg uncom mon. especially during mating Pharaoh Ants arc capable of feeding on a variety of materials There are reports of them infesting and feeding on sweets (syrups, jellies, cakes. IUK.es> and fatty foods (grease, meals, other insects) In hospitals these ants have been found in open wounds, apparently feeding on ex posed tissue, and have been en countered inside pieces of sterile cqoipriH'nt While a serious visual and food infesting pest. Pharaoh Ants have linked with spreading in feet khi s diseases The Thief Ant. one of the smallest arils that invades the home in onlv methods for eradnating these ants First, you could use a contact spray insecticide, but this will only eliminate those ants directly expos cd at the lime of application Residual sprays can be effective on ly if they are applied directly to the nest You must be careful in doing this because you may cause the col ony to divide, creating a greater pro blcm Barrier treatment with a residual dust or spray is only tern porary A newer more effective method is using selective baits such as Boric acid with mint apple telly, liver and egg These used in com hmation can result in a significant reduction in ant population Keep in mind (hat bail can take up to one or three months to totally control the situation The bait must also be at tractive to the ant as a primary food source As with all baits and insec nodes they must be carefully plac ed with safety and effectiveness in mind If the problem persists please call your local pest control operator for assistance. Remember, simply controlling these ants, especially the Pharaoh ant. is usually not adequate or acccp table, elimination must be theobjee live, and the objective must be achieved especially in hospitals and food service operations I lb " long The Thiel ant got its name because the worker ants will rob other ant nests of their larva or food In ihohomc they will feed on meals, cheese, grains, tats, and sweets Thiel ants become a pest problem in two ways As with many insect species, their presence as foragers creates a nuisance for the homeowner fhese ants also con sume and contaminate stored food items TFic Thief ant is yellowish or bright brown in color and closely resembles the Pharaoh ant The Pavement ant is nuire com mon to the Northeastern United Stales hut has migrated to the Midwest and California The Pave ment ant is about I lb' to 3/ lb " in length and their bodies arc covered with thick, stiff hairs They arc brownish black in color Pavement ants are rather slow moving insects The workers have the ability to bite and sting, but they are not very ag gressive The occurance of Pave ment ants is increasing, and it is found frequently in basements and slahon grade homes Nests occur outdoors usually under stones, along edges and cracks in pavement or next to buildings They usually will seek either sweet or greasy materials to Iced on. but they will also feed on insect remains and have been reported as pests of eggplants, peanuts and strawberries There are many ly pcs of control .1C NOTH NOTICE TO INTERESTED PERSONS NO 87 CSC 20 IN THE DISTRICT COURT FOR THE STATE OF OREGON Ft>k MORROW ( (H M > RUSSELL OIL COMPANY.
