Ants

When ants come marching in, we’ll march them right back out!

Did you know that ants play a very important role in our ecosystem as decomposers? So while we want to keep ants out of spaces, we also want them to do their job, as nature intended!

Understanding Ants: The First Step to Elimination

When it comes to tackling an ant problem, the first and most crucial step is identifying the little intruders.

Ants are social creatures that live in large colonies, often underground. But when their home is threatened—whether by flooding, extreme heat, or even disturbances in the ground—they’ll venture out in search of food and shelter.

To effectively deal with an ant invasion, it’s important to observe their habits and pinpoint the exact species you’re dealing with. This knowledge not only helps you understand what’s attracted them to your space but also allows you to address the problem at its source. By getting to know your ant guests a little better, you can take the right steps to reclaim your space!

When you have an ant army

What may seem like an infestation of ants is literally only a small fraction of the entire colony. Once ants have established their trail, what may be just a few ants looking for food, can turn into a major pest problem. Unfortunately there is no “silver bullet” when it comes to evicting ants. Because different ants are attracted to different things.

While you may think that just disturbing their trails and killing the ants that are exploring is sufficient, you unfortunately have not evicted them. You have to find and treat the nest, so that you can be sure your space stays ant-free!

Treating for ants may require a treatment programme, as a once-off treatment is often just not enough to evict these pesky little bugs.

Pestinators' Ant Control

Identification and Inspection: We start by identifying the type of ant and inspecting your home to find the source of the infestation.
Baiting and Trapping: We use specialized baits and traps to eliminate the ant colony. These baits are designed to be carried back to the nest, ensuring that the queen and the rest of the colony are affected.
Perimeter Treatments: Apply treatments around the perimeter of your property to prevent ants from entering.
Indoor Treatments: If ants have already made it inside, we apply targeted treatments in areas where ants are most active, such as kitchens or bathrooms.
Regular Monitoring: Regular monitoring to catch any new ant activity early, ensuring that your property stays ant-free.
Preventative Measures: We can provide advice on how to prevent future infestations, such as keeping your property clean, storing food properly, and reducing moisture.
