We here at A-Pest-Pro know how burdensome it is to have these stinging, destructive pests! It seems that no matter what product you buy the ants keep coming back.
     So, stop wasting your money and call the Professionals. We take care of all types of ant problems, and IF they do come back, we do too!

 

Many of the most persistent ant pests are not native to this country. Two of these, Argentine ants and Red Imported Fire ants, are known to drive out less aggressive native ants, often with severe consequences to the ecosystem.
     This has been well documented with Red Imported Fire ants, and now it is being documented with Argentine ants. A recent study showed that the Coast Horned lizard in California is threatened because the Argentine ant is taking over areas where harvester ants used to live. Harvester ants are the primary food source for the lizard, but the lizard won't eat Argentine ants, apparently because they taste bad.
      Another recent study in South Africa showed that native ants bury large seeds of native plants, and that these buried seeds germinate very well after a fire comes through the area. When the Argentine ants take over, they don't bury the seeds. The fire burns most of the seeds, and there is a ten-fold drop in the number of large-seeded plants that germinate after a fire.
