Leafcutter Ants: Persistent Garden Pests in Texas Areas
The Texas Leaf Cutting Ant Atta texana forms nocturnal to daytime foraging colonies with cratered mounds in sandy yards. Colonies reach up to five queens, millions of workers, and can persist over a century, causing about five million dollars in annual agricultural losses in Texas and Louisiana. Control is challenging as they avoid bait. organic options include garlic and diatomaceous earth, while chemical options like Amdro Ant Block are restricted near food crops.
