Quick overview

Ants may enter buildings in search of food, water or shelter and can form trails through kitchens, bathrooms, balconies, gardens and wall gaps. Effective control depends on locating the colony and identifying the conditions supporting it.

Signs You May Need This Service

• Regular ant trails along walls, counters or window frames
• Ants gathering around sweet, oily or protein-based food
• Soil deposits, nesting activity or insects emerging from cracks
• Winged ants appearing indoors during seasonal swarming

Our Treatment Process

1. Inspection of trails, nesting points, entry routes, garden edges and moisture sources.
2. Assessment of the likely ant type and the food preferences shown at the site.
3. Use of suitable bait, gel, dust or targeted residual treatment according to the location.
4. Treatment of identified entry points and harbourages without disturbing unnecessary areas.
5. Recommendations for cleaning, vegetation management and structural sealing.
6. Monitoring or repeat treatment where satellite nests or outdoor colonies remain active.

How to Prepare Before Service

• Remove open food, sweets and pet food from treatment areas.
• Wipe food spills but avoid disturbing visible trails immediately before inspection.
• Keep children and pets away from the work area.
• Point out all locations where ants have recently been seen.

After-Service Instructions

• Do not disturb bait placements or spray household insecticide over them.
• Follow any re-entry and cleaning instructions provided by the technician.
• Ant activity around bait may temporarily increase as part of colony-level control.

Prevention Tips

• Store food and sugar products in closed containers.
• Clean spills promptly and rinse recyclable containers.
• Repair leaks and reduce damp conditions.
• Seal cracks near windows, doors, pipes and electrical points.
• Trim vegetation touching the building and manage outdoor nesting conditions.
