Casa Grande yards hold several kinds of ants, and the right treatment depends on which one you have. Red harvester ants build wide, flat mounds of bare ground and sting hard. Southern fire ants, native to Arizona, nest under rocks and along sidewalks. Small sugar ants such as Argentine and pavement ants trail into kitchens, often along slab cracks and plumbing gaps.
Ant trails get worse in two seasons. In the hottest months they come indoors for water, so bathrooms and kitchens see more. After monsoon rain, mounds flood and colonies move, and winged ants fly from the nests. Drip irrigation that runs near the foundation keeps the soil moist and draws colonies close to the house.
Spraying the trail you see kills workers but leaves the queen. The technician uses slow baits that workers carry back to the nest, plus mound treatment for stinging ants in the yard. A perimeter treatment stops new trails at the slab. Keep pet food bowls off the floor overnight and wipe up sugary spills, so the bait is the best food around.
