Abstract

A method and device has been developed to kill ants, including carpenter ants, black ants, pharaoh ants, and harvester ants. In a preferred embodiment, an infection chamber which contains an attractant for the ants and an entomopathogenic fungus, or conidia of one or more entomopathogenic fungi, is used to lethally infect foraging ants. Infected ants return to the nest, infecting other members of the colony, resulting in significant colony mortality. examples or preferred entomopathogenic fungi include Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana. Examples demonstrate the effectiveness of different chamber designs using a large number of fungal species or strains, in laboratory and field tests involving carpenter ants, pharaoh ants, black ants, and harvester ants.
