Debra from Miami Fl writes

Can PT Phantom II Pressurized Insecticide be used to treat for both roaches and carpenter ants in addition to using Alpine Roach Bait Gel for German Roaches and an ant bait gel for carpenter ants and small black ants? The ants are no longer attracted to the sweet ant bait gel and saw a large group of carpenter ants carrying something away under my dishwasher.

Answer:

Yes, Phantom II Aerosol would be a great choice for crack and crevice/spot applications for both roaches and carpenter ants in addition to baiting. Phantom II Aerosol is a non repellent that allows roaches and ants to cross the treated area undetected and transfer the active ingredient throughout the colonies. This is NOT a quick knockdown and follow up treatments at 14 day intervals may be needed.  Taurus SC is a great exterior perimeter foundation treatment for roaches, carpenter ants, spiders, etc and will help control these insects before they enter the home. Taurus SC is applied every 6 months for residual control.  Per the Phantom II Aerosol product label: Treat into voids or to surfaces beneath cabinets, furniture, spaces between equipment, expansion joints, surfaces behind sinks, floor drains (to sewers), lockers, and water pipes. Ants dietary needs switch between needing sweet and protein based food sources depending on what the colony needs. If the ants are no longer attracted to the gel bait, you want to consider offering a protein granule bait like Maxforce Complete Granular Bait. You can use bait plate stations to offer both gel and granule baits that way you are offering both types of bait for the ants to take back to the colony.  View our How to Get Rid of Carpenter Ant Treatment Guide for more information. 

When treating for German Roaches, in addition to using a residual insecticide and roach bait, we highly recommend using an insect growth regulator to help stop the reproduction of the colony. Gentrol Pointe Source Packs would be a great choice as they last for 90 days and you will use 1 disc per 75 sq ft of the room(s) you are treating. When baiting for roaches, you want to remove and replace bait placements every 14 days and if still baiting after 60 days, you want to rotate the roach bait to prevent any resistance or aversion. Maxforce FC Magnum or Advion Roach Bait Gel would be a great rotation bait.  View our How to Get Rid of Roaches Treatment Guide for more information.
