Leaf-cutter ants damage vegetation because they remove foliage in order to carry it back to their nests. They have been known to remove all the needles or leaves from a tree in one night.
Control of Texas leaf cutting ants can be difficult. Although plants can be protected temporarily using dust or granular formulations of contact insecticides, like acephate (Orthene®), carbaryl (Sevin®) or permethrin (Terro™), such treatments must be reapplied frequently.
