Doubt you'll find such a method.

Here's info from Univ of California:

Thank you, I am pretty sure they are argentine ants because of the stripes on the thorax. I also have a large population.

What's your general location, Betta? Can you collect some samples and visit your local county extension office?

I don't know of any parasitoids that are available on the retail market for the control of pest ant species. Baits continue to be the most effective means of control but you must be certain of the species in order to choose the proper product?

Your extension office should be able to help you with that, too. Argentine ants have a limited range in the US but they are encroaching into new territories.

I not noticed they have had he same white banding of them. I also have seen a few queens around.
