Texas Leaf Cutter AntLeaf cutter ants can damage fruit trees and ornamental vegetation quickly. They can be very difficult to handle. These ants have very large colonies that can spread up to 100 ft long under the ground. They use the leaves they bring back to the colony as a fungus farm to feed the colony. For this reason baits tend to be ineffective. A special formulation of hydramethylnon, sold under the trade name Amdro Ant Block, is currently the only widely available bait product labeled for control of leaf cutting ants. This product is available to consumers at places like Home Depot/Lowes. It can be used on most sites such as lawns, landscaped areas, golf courses, ornamental gardens, and other non-cropland areas such as roadsides, commercial grounds, etc. Apply bait according to label directions while ants are foraging. Ant activity in the treated colony will decline over a 4 to 6 week period. However, about half the time activity will return in 4 to 6 months, requiring another treatment.

We Started Aztec Organic Pest Service in Austin back in 1981 when my aunt told us about a boric acid roach product that worked great, had no odor, and was less toxic than table salt.
Aztec’s philosophy is to provide the most effective pest control service available, having the least negative impact on people and the environment here in Austin, Texas. We use a combination of the least toxic and most effective pest control products available.
We originally offered pest control using only natural, “organic” pest control products. While we still offer that service, we now combine those products with a low-toxicity, odorless, synthetic pyrethrin (crushed chrysanthemum flower), offering a longer-lasting residual effect.
How refreshing to do business with someone who only sells you what you need! They did not try to get me into a big contract or scare me. Just fee for service, call us when you need us. I so …Read More
