Continue reading to learn what to do when you see ants fighting for control of your home.
Ants Killing Ants: What Does It Mean?
If you see ants killing ants in your home, there are two reasons it could be happening. The first is combating ants, which occurs when ants from two separate ant species converge to eradicate the other from a prime resource: your home.
This can also be an ant infestation by invasion, where they're the same ant species, but from two or more separate colonies, warring over resources. The bottom line is the same: your home is a battleground.
Since ants are highly aggressive and the resources they need (food and water) are at stake, this is a fight to the death. Either way, one colony or one species will rout the other from the territory and dominate the other colony, stealing young to turn them into ant workers.
You have an invasion on your hands, and it's time to take a stand.
Ants Killing Ants: How Do I Stop It?
The best way to get rid of ants in the home is with treatment from a professional. Near Lexington and Louisville, Kentucky, make IPM Pest & Termite your first and last call.
When we arrive, we'll conduct an inspection to determine where the ants are coming from, locate their nest, and identify the type of ant battle you have on your hands. As a preliminary method, you can vacuum up the ants in your home, but leave some so we can identify the species and determine how many species you're dealing with. This will enable us to determine the best treatments.
More than that,
we'll work with you to identify what drew the ants to your home in the first place, including the food and water sources you're providing, and eliminate those so that your home is no longer attractive to them.
We use
numerous methods to control different pests, and for ants, prevention and management methods include:
- Sealing entry holes.
- Eliminating the resources they're going to your home for.
- Leaving out bait that they'll bring back to the rest of the colony.
