Ant Control
Ant control is a common kind of pest control, especially in the Australian summer season.
Of the thousands of ant varieties that exist in Australia, there is only a minority that are considered to be pests.
Black house ants, as well as Coastal Brown ants that develop large nests around houses, are two of the most concerning with home owners, mainly due to their persistence in entering their homes.
Externally, Greenhead ants, Bull ants and Fire ants are of the main concern, due to their ability to inflict very painful bites to their victims.
Where do ants live around homes?
Ants stay in nests which may be found in the garden area, around wood, under pavers, in wall surfaces and roof voids. They often travel distances scavenging for food and water. Most species of ants will definitely plan to take food back to their nest, and are very methodical in their ways of transporting food items they have detected.
What time of year are ants most present?
Ants can be discovered all year around. Typically, ants are found throughout periods of high humidity, heat and rain. New nests are regularly established in locations where ants may not have actually been seen before.
Besides their nests, you will definitely see them crawling in your kitchen area, cupboards, bathroom, laundry, along paths as well as anywhere they can find food or water.
Ant control using a non repellent professional product which triggers a transfer effect to the nest is very efficient. Additionally, professional gels and granules available today greatly assist in treating household ant activity. The huge advantage in using professional non-repellent products via your pest technician is that the ants carry the product back to their nest to achieve much more effective control when compared to repellent products such as retail surface sprays, which will kill any insects that come into contact with it, but will have no impact on the nest itself. This is why we will always use the non repellent options where ever possible.
