Topic: Argentine Ants

The behavior of Argentine ants in California is discussed, specifically their "inter-social" nature which allows them to join different colonies. A DIY extermination tip is provided: leave a bait like a chicken bone to identify the entry point, then use a vacuum cleaner to remove the line of ants before spraying the area.

California has been overtaken by Argentine ants, a South American species known for their inter-social behavior where different colonies do not fight each other. This collective nature makes them difficult to eradicate. John C. Dvorak describes his methods for tracking and eliminating "scout" ants in his kitchen to prevent a full infestation.
