Ant Control

With a food supply source located, usually, it would mean a large number of worker aunts taking food back to the nest. In dry weather, ants might invade a house looking for water.

Some species of ants can bite or sting which can cause discomfort but, usually, they are not a danger to humans.

Of the three types of ants, queen and male ants are responsible for reproduction and worker ants are wingless sterile female ants.

Sometimes a flying ant can be confused with a flying termite. While both have wings, the major difference between the two is that termites have a thick waist and straight antennae and an ant will have a narrow waist and bent antennae, amongst other differences.

How Do You Know You Have a Problem?

Ants may often go unspotted at home. Unsightly ant trails or the accidental uncovering of a nest will usually be the way an infection is discovered. Some species have visible ant hills and others may affect ground level with shallow burrows.

Steps You Can Take

No food, no nest. Ants love anything sweet and sticky.
Keeping a property clean is the primary way of ensuring there is no easy food for a nest.

  • Make sure to leave no spilled foodstuff around,
  • wipe down food preparation areas after use
  • keep rubbish bins well-sealed
  • keep logs and similar potential nesting places away from the house
  • block any cracks or holes in property walls

How to Get Rid of Ants From Your Home?

Inside a property, it is possible to lay bait. Unsuspecting worker ants will take the poison back to the nest. Over time the poison will have its effect.

Surface sprays will repel exploratory worker ants but are not the preferred method to eradicate a nest.

If the infestation is heavy and you wish to call us, don’t disturb the ants or their nest.

Our treatment will be more effective if life goes on normally for the nest. The worker ants will bring back the poison to their nest and pass it around.
