Ant Control

Ant Control

Normally, the first ants that come in are simply looking for a food source such as little bit of juice spilt on the work surface or on the floor. Crumbs are a treat for our little friends so good housekeeping and clearing debris away after preparing food can be the start of getting rid of them.

The smaller transparent ants tend to give an irritating nip, so if allowed to invade a house can be quite a nuisance. But all ants live in the garden, in soil, compost heaps or rotting tree stumps. Ants do not like wet conditions or disturbance and will only venture inside a house if they find food. They especially like areas where food, moisture and warmth abound such as our kitchens, dining rooms and bedrooms. Active during certain times of the day, when the temperature is right, ants quite often prefer the dark and can crawl into amazingly small places.

The key to ant control is eradicating the population. This simply means killing the ants (preferably in or near the nest) so that they don't have the opportunity to breed. Spraying the house and skirting boards with insecticide every month or so is a good way to deter them. But finding the nest is very important. We have our own treatment that will kill the nest and the queen.

Nests can be sprayed with a modern insecticide that the ants cannot detect, and by touching this insecticide, they become infected. The good thing is that they don’t just turn over and die, but the way the poison works is that they have enough time to return to the nest and by the effects of natural grooming and touch, one ant can affect hundreds more. This then starts the eradication of the nest, bit by bit until it is gone. Any treatment is not an instant “magic wand” fix, but our work is guaranteed to eradicate the problem in the shortest possible time.
