To control Argentine carpenters, Fire, and Egyptian ants, stay vigilant for signs of re-infestation from neighboring homes. Treat potential nesting areas like blocks, lumber heaps, or sidewalk gaps, and seal any cracks that allow outdoor ants to enter. Locate and remove carpenter ant nests to prevent further infestations. For fire ants, use specific baits and treat the nest regularly. Pharaoh ants require thorough removal until the nest is empty.
