Argentine Ants

Argentine Ants are native to Argentina, Brazil, and Uruguay and were probably introduced to New Orleans via coffee ships from Brazil in the late 1800’s. You can find these ants in colonies located in moist situations near a food source. These colonies can have a few hundred to several hundred thousand workers and many queens.

Argentine Ants, when found indoors, usually nest near a moisture source such as water pipes, sinks, potted plants, etc. The workers follow regular trails when foraging, and winged queens can sometimes be found among trailing workers.

Argentine Ant Feeding Habits

They prefer sucrose-containing sweets but will increase their intake of protein-containing foods such as prey during the spring and summer. When found outdoors, these ants typically live in shallow nests about 8” deep located in moist situations such as under boards and stones, beneath plants, along sidewalk, etc. When it is too wet or too dry for them to live outdoors they will invade buildings in large numbers.

"Calling and setting up a 1 year contract was smooth sailing, the operator was very polite and accommodating. Within just a few days (I had to reschedule) a technician came out and explained everything in detail as to what he was doing and planned to do, as well as what to expect in the future. The process was quick and easy. 10/10"

Lukas was exceptional in his treatment of a volatile situation...bedbugs on the loose. I was impressed with his step by step approach towards the goal of total eradication. He took extra time to explain what he was going to do and why he had chosen such an approach. His confidence was both refreshing and reassuring. I would gladly recommend Walker to those who want professional help at an affordable cost.

Outstanding service! I love when we use the online request form they are out the very next day to take care of any issues. Since we been using them we hardly have seen any spiders, or bugs in our house. I personally am freaked out over spiders. So I am highly happy with this company. We used ***** for 5 years but after the constant price increases we went elsewhere. I am much more happier with Walker Pest over any other company. They listen and show they actually care and take care of any problems ASAP!.

On time! Professional service! You can tell a lot about a company you are doing business with by who they send to your house to represent the company and provide the service. Wade was fantastic! He answered all my questions and was very informative on what the service provided. Great company! Would highly recommend!

I have been using Walker Pest control for termite protection and mosquito control for several years. I love working in my yard so I especially appreciate the mosquito treatment. I have always found everyone at Walker to be honest, dependable, pleasant and professional. I was so pleased with their services that I recommended them to my son when he bought his new home, and I would not hesitate to recommend their services to others.
