Pest Control for Fire Ants & Aphids

July 14, 2015 by Pest Control Mesa, AZ

Fire Ants actually FARM Aphids for HONEYDEW {which aphids secrete!}

Fire Ants & Aphids Pest Control Phoenix
Fire Ants and Aphids by Kevin Prichard Photography

If you have a Fire Ant infestation, this could be why! Aphids actually attract ants that feed on their bodily secretions.

Sometimes effective Ant pest control must include Aphid pest control! Aphids are a plant pests that feed on leaves, stems, and roots. Aphids pierce plant surfaces and suck out plant juice. They secrete a sticky sweet liquid called “Honeydew” from their anus. Honeydew attracts ants and other pests. In fact some ants actually “farm” Aphids for their Honeydew. Aphids, their honeydew or the mold that grows on honeydew, can damage plant surfaces. Honeydew attracts ants and other pests. In fact some ANTS actually “farm” Aphids for their Honeydew.

Pest Control

When Aphids are brought INSIDE and infest a home, our pest control treatments are highly effective. In your flower or vegetable garden control Aphids and other PESTS with an Insecticidal Soap! Health food stores sell liquid soaps, like Dr. Bronner’s Pure-Castile Soaps.

Ant Pest Control – 7 Step Process:

  1. Identification: Different types of ants have different nesting / feeding habits that should be used to help control them.
  2. Locate Nests: Locating Ant nests is CRUCIAL, at minimum determine weather ants are coming from inside, or outside.
  3. Seal Entry Areas: Openings around incoming pipes, utilities, door frames, window frames, ect, should be caulked around to seal.
  4. Pest Control Treatment: This includes treating ants at nest, and interior/exterior perimeters to prevent entry.
  5. Baiting: This can be the most effective way to eliminate the entire colony! One ant takes bait back to feed the entire ant colony with!
  6. Eliminate Food Sources!: This will include aphids if ants are feeding on their honeydew. Remove all other sources!
  7. When Applicable: Sanitation, remove plants that attract ants (nectar plats), eliminate aphids, trim trees and bushes touching structure (these can assist ants in entering a structure), reduce moisture sources.
