Common in gardens and open grounds. - Ghost Ant: They prefer humid areas and are hard to detect. - Carpenter Ant: They nest in wooden structures and can cause damage over time by tunneling through wood.

Targeted application of insecticides to high-traffic areas and ant trails to prevent reinfestation.
- 3. Dusting Treatment:
Insecticidal dust is applied in wall cavities, electrical outlets, and hidden nesting areas.
