The professionals use provaunt, bifen, and Siesta. They use all three. I don't think any of those are licensed for use on food crops, so they will use Tango on those. The guy we hired has Tango for those situations but if you lie and say you're not going to eat the bananas, they skip the Tango. I tried Tango for 8 months and I didn't notice any reduction in the ants. Provaunt and Siesta work well, but no single product solves the problem. The guy we hired uses provaunt and siesta to kill the LFA and bifen as a perimeter treatment. Provaunt and Siesta are bait products where the workers bring the poison to the colony. Bifen kills everything but the downside is that it only kills where it's sprayed. LFA will usually carry the bait poisons for you but only about 10 feet or so.
