While prevention is always important to reduce suitable ant habitats, this is one pest that should never be controlled by using do-it-yourself strategies. If you have tawny crazy ants, contact an experienced pest management professional right away. Get ahead of the ants by seeking the advice, recommendations and expertise of your pest specialist and begin the ant management program before the population explodes in the warmer months. In addition, if the control program is only partially effective, the ant populations will more than likely rebound and continue to create problems.
