How do you get rid of Pharaoh ants ?
Question:
Answers:
buy some NIPPON gel you put some down and the ant eat it and take it back to there nest and when they do whatever it is ants do with it when they get back tp the nest its starts to work and destroys the nest. it works for normal ants some im assuming it would work for those too. (sorry i dont know much about pharoah ants but if it doesn't work you only out of pocket by anout £1.70.
okay i have just looked up these ants wow they sound like a nightmare and can have hundreds of nests and the nests are only about as big as a thimble which can make them very difficult to find but i think the nippon gel work because you just have to put it where you see the ants and they will take it back to the nest themselves so you don't need to find them all.

Pharaoh ants usually have large colonies with many queens.
They tend to nest in roof and wall void ,under the house and so on.
they will eat many types of food. Prefers high protein (meat and blood), but will also eat fatty foods and vegetable matter.May also attack sweets.
1. Get a pest controller or
2. Put out several types of food near where you see them. Observe what food they go for the most.
Then try to find a way to mix borax with that food .If they take the food with the borax you should start to see numbers starting to drop in the following few days.Borax and caster sugar mixed 50-50 will get most ants.
3. Inspect in the roof void..pay close attention to eaves and under insulation..place a mirror on a pole and with a touch try to inspect wall cavity's...check under the house and any where you find them nesting try to treat with an insecticidal duct.
