Warning signs
Signs you need ant control
Noticed any of these? The sooner it's treated, the easier it is to get under control.
Ant trails
Lines of ants along benches, skirting boards, window frames or paths.
Soil in pavers
Small mounds of sand or soil pushed up between pavers and along edges.
Ants in food
Ants in the pantry, sugar, pet bowls or rubbish bins.
Winged ants
Flying ants indoors can mean a nearby colony is expanding.
Our approach
How we handle it
Inspect
We follow trails to find where ants are entering and where the nest is likely to be.
Identify
Different ant species respond to different treatments, so we confirm what's there first.
Treat
We treat nests, trails and entry points inside and outside the property.
Prevent
We show you how to remove food sources and close common entry points.
Prevention
Keep them from coming back
- Wipe up food and drink spills straight away, especially sweet ones.
- Keep branches and garden beds from touching walls.
- Seal gaps around windows, doors and utility pipes.
- Avoid spraying trails yourself before treatment, as it can scatter the colony.
Questions
Why do ants come back after I spray them?
Surface sprays kill the ants you see but not the colony. Treating the nest is what brings numbers down.
Can you treat ants in paving and garden areas?
Yes. We treat outdoor nests and perimeters as well as indoor areas.
Are ants a sign of a bigger problem?
Some ants follow moisture, so ongoing activity in one spot can point to a leak worth checking.
