Cutter ants....?????

Holy cow they are having a field day at my place.

What is their demise?????

Go to your local co-op and ask for cut-ant bait. I got some and took care of a problem--although it took 3 treatments about a week apart.

Yes sir......

Check online. There is little that will exterminate them. Sometimes the best thing is to get them mad enough that they move next door. Amdro used to make a bait specifically for cut ants, but for some reason it's no longer available. Too bad. It worked. I asked them and got some kind of a lame scripted response. Good luck and if you find something that works, please let me know.

cutter ants

I had em BAD. Didnt know what to do. An old lady at the feed store where I use to live told me about this. It works!! Get some Andro fire ant killer (the white powder) get a box of grape nuts, pour enough of the powder in the bag of grape nuts to coat them all very well. Sprinkle the coated grape nuts around the perimeter of the ant mounds. Its ok if some go down inside the hole. The ants will eventually start to take the "food" into their mounds. What ants aren't killed will find somewhere else to go. Try this. I think you'll be happy with the results!

Sounds like it would work to me.
I also heard sprinkling baking soda would work. They are supposed to blow up after eating it.

The grape nuts deal just may be the trick.

These ants eat fungus! They do not eat the leaves or corn they haul down in the hole. It takes a bit to kill them out. Spraying insecticides just kills a few worker ants.

You need a fungicide where it is taken into the mound and kills off their food source. Spraying what they are cutting with a fungicide and/or the ants so they sterilize their mound and starve.

I never found anything to totally get rid of them when I was dealing with them. Mostly just moved them around. They do eat the fungus produced from their harvests. They live in deep cavernous communities and I have actually experienced the ground sinking over the top of abandoned cutter ant communities. A bit scary.
