Pharoh's Ant- ANTWEB
PHAROHS ANT Pharohs Ant is found in warm heated buildings and has a
golden colour to it. Pharoh's Ant has been found in New Zealand Hospitals.
Pharoh's Ant prefers the warmth of heated buildings and has been known to
live along electrical wirings. Pharoh's Ant presents a health risk to Hospitals
as the Ants have been known to fed on exudate from found in and around dressings
and patients. This poses a risk of infection and cross infection to the patient.
Pharoh's Ant has a behaviour called "budding". This where when the nest is under
stress the colony splits up into smaller nests and relocates. Care must be taken
when treating Pharoh's Ant that as colonys that split up in this the budding process
can go deeper into the building's structure, making them harder to successfully treat.
Pharoh's Ant responds well to certian baits available through Pest Controllers.
TREATMENT OF PHAROH'S ANT Pharoh's Ant can be treated succesfully.
An initial inspection is vital to find nests, and Ant trails. If the nests are found,
their destruction is quickly achieved using the appropriate chemicals. If the nest
not be found Ant trials should be indentified and the used to bait the nest.
With the Pharoh's Ant it is preferable to bait the nest.
