48-hour catch in my backyard
Ants collected during a 48-hour backyard test of the Ant Assassin system.
Targeted Argentine ant management
A powerful, proven new approach to Argentine ant control.
Ant Assassin is a bait-assisted system designed to draw Argentine ants away from homes, businesses, and other social areas while helping control ant activity at the treatment site.
Follow the developmentA global pest with a massive footprint.
Argentine ants have spread from South America to every continent except Antarctica. In many invaded regions, connected nests can cooperate across extraordinary distances, forming supercolonies that are difficult to manage with ordinary spot treatments.
During warm, dry periods, Argentine ants may search aggressively for moisture and food, bringing them into homes, gardens, businesses, and other areas used by people.
Global distribution
Argentine ants are established across multiple continents and islands through human-assisted spread.
Supercolonies
Separate nests may cooperate rather than fight, allowing infestations to occupy enormous areas.
Environmental pressure
In invaded ecosystems, Argentine ants can displace native ants and disrupt relationships among plants, insects, and animals.
Draw them away. Control the problem.
Ant Assassin is designed to attract Argentine ants with bait, draw them away from homes and other social areas, and make ongoing control easier.
1
Attract
Use toxic or non-toxic bait to attract Argentine ants to the Ant Assassin system.
2
Distract
Draw ants away from homes, businesses, pet areas, and other social spaces where their activity creates problems.
3
Kill
The base tier effectively kills ants at the treatment site, while advanced tiers are designed to control substantially larger volumes of ants.
4
Dispose
Dead ants can be easily disposed of, allowing the treatment process to be started again when needed.
One idea
Developed to solve a problem affecting homes and families
An idea born from a personal loss.
Ant Assassin is solely my own idea, developed from the need to find a better way to manage Argentine ants in homes, businesses, and other everyday spaces.
The idea began when our house cat became sick. Ants covered her food every morning, and although they could be killed temporarily, they returned again the next day. She barely ate and sadly passed away a week later.
After losing her, I knew I had to create something that could help mitigate this problem for other people facing similar situations.
I am now working to take the next steps toward turning this proven method into a viable product for the public.
Designed for drawing ants away from social areas.
Bait is an essential part of the Ant Assassin system. Toxic and non-toxic bait options can be used depending on the intended application, placement, and product configuration.
Bait-assisted approach
The system is designed around baiting and the natural foraging behavior of Argentine ants.
Draw ants away
Ant Assassin is intended to pull ant activity away from homes, businesses, pet areas, and other social spaces.
Multiple control tiers
The base tier provides effective ant control, while additional tiers are being developed for substantially higher-volume ant activity.
Repeatable process
Once dead ants are disposed of, the treatment process can be started over when additional ant activity appears.
