Allegheny Mound Ants: Difficult to Control in NW Georgia

Allegheny mound ants (northwest Georgia) ignore baits. UGA's Dr. Dan Suiter recommends spot-treating exposed nest sites with liquid pyrethroids (bifenthrin, permethrin, deltamethrin). Do not apply near water. Rake mounds open, spray ants directly. Termidor only allowed near structures.
