Ant Control

Did you know?

For every human in the world there are one million ants.
Ants never sleep

Ants can be pests when:

They build nests in walls and foundations, or indoors in potted plants, enclosed areas, and even in cavities in toilets and sinks.
The Aphaenogaster ant can form large numbers of chambers close to the surface, causing serious problems when found in golf courses or some types of pastures or crops.
A few species will occasionally attack electrical wiring, apparently being attracted to either the insulation or the magnetic fields produced by the wires.
Ants often move nest sites when disturbed, or with a change in food supply. This can make control and removal difficult. They may leave for short periods only to return later when a new food source is located and they can recolonise from nearby nests very quickly.
The Black House Ant is a scavenger and will spread disease around your kitchen.
The Pharoah Ant is yellow-brown in colour and very difficult to control.
The Bulldog Ant is found mostly outdoors and inflicts a very painful sting.
