We have been working for many years with the developers of the KM AntPro® bait dispensing system, as well as university researchers in California and around the world, to develop and demonstrate the use of liquid baits for the control of ants in agriculture. This control is an important part of reducing the damage done to high-value crops by aphids, scales, mealy bugs and white flies. In many cases, ants protect these pests from their natural enemies and transport them to healthy plants, where

Research has shown that the increased yield achieved by using our system more than compensates for the cost. It has also been shown that our system eliminates the ant colonies, which are slow to reinfest treated areas; therefore, costs continue to amortize year after year.

These facts, combined with the benefits to worker safety, food safety, ground water safety, the lack of pollution to the air, the lack of pesticide resistance in ants and the lack of effect on honeybees and other beneficial insects, make the use of our system the logical choice for treatments of citrus, grapes and nut crops.
