Paroah and Little Black Ants
QPM proposes to exterminate Paraoh and Little Black Ants via bait method like most other species of Ants. The worker ants not only feed themselves on the bait but also carry the bait to the other Ants in the colony. Since the bait takes a few hours to kill an Ant, the entire colony gets to feed on the bait. That is how the problem is eadicated at it's root level. Bait method is not intrusive and does not require client to leave. Also it poses no danger to the residents. Hence, the quality and flow of life is not impacted by such bait extermination service.
The pharaoh ant and the little black ant are small ants with
workers ranging in size from 1.2 to 2.0 mm. They vary in colour from yellow-red (pharaoh ants) to
black (little black ants), and have 3-segmented antennal clubs. These ant species nest in soil or
buildings, and are common in households where they feed on a variety of domestic food, especially
fats. They are also known to be predaceous on a wide variety of insects. Damage is caused by
chewing insulation of electrical cables and cutting holes in fabrics and rubber goods during nest
building. They also inflict a painful sting.
