Argentine Ant - July 2025

Pest of the Month - Sponsored by Zoecon Professional Products

Argentine ants are a nuisance for many reasons. They’re a highly invasive species, known to crawl over sewage, trash and dead animals while looking for food and can be carriers of disease-causing bacteria for conditions like dysentery. If they gain access to a household’s kitchen, they are capable of contaminating food. In areas where large numbers of Argentine ants are present, workers have even been known to attack poultry chicks and destroy beehives.

For effective control of Argentine ants, choose Formitrol® Ant Bait Gel, the latest nuisance ant control innovation from Zoëcon Professional Products. Formitrol® Ant Bait Gel features a powerful, dual-action solution specifically designed to manage nuisance ant species like odorous house ants. Combining dinotefuran, an adulticide, with (S)-methoprene, our pioneering insect growth regulator (IGR) that impacts reproduction, Formitrol® targets both the current population and future generations.

Approved for use in residential, industrial, and commercial settings, this bait gel can be applied with precision using its syringe format and is also compatible with Antack™ Liquid Bait for rotation strategies.
