Ants control
Spraying a trail of ants feels satisfying and does almost nothing: you kill the foragers and the colony sends more. The fix is to treat so the workers carry it back to the nest. We find the trail and the entry points and treat for transfer, inside and out.
How to tell it’s ants.
- →Trails along skirting, benchtops or the garden edge
- →Ants around pet bowls, bins or sweet spills
- →Small soil mounds near paths and paving
- →Winged ants indoors (a sign of a mature nest)
Our approach to ants.
We identify the ant (coastal homes get black house ants, white-footed ants, and the occasional invasive species, each handled differently), trace the trail to the nest where we can, and use a non-repellent transfer product so the workers take it back to the colony. We treat the perimeter and the entry points, not just the visible trail.
Ants is treated as part of our general pest treatment service.
