LFA Flight distance for new colonies.

[Lee M-S]

One of the Master Gardeners gave a talk about pests; he said the colonies tend to be about 10 feet apart, but that can vary.

If you kill much but not all of the colony, the queen produces lots more queens, and they spread out and start new colonies. If you kill the entire colony, more ants can still come onto your property.

Also, if you use the same pesticide all the time, they can become resistant to it. Try a different poison every 3 months to avoid breeding super ants.
