Ant Control

Ants may appear harmless, however, they will travel far and wide to search for food to bring back to their colonies. Establishing trails and clustering near food sources, colonies can wreak havoc in homes, businesses, and other dwellings in just a matter of days.

The most common reason ants are attracted into the home is because of a source of food and water. When ants find a suitable water source, they often leave a scent trail so that other ants can find it. Ongoing food sources such as pet food bowls, compost bins and food scraps can attract an infestation of ants in no time.

Did you know there are over 4000 known species of ants in Australia? Their ideal nesting environment will vary depending on species. It’s important to be aware of the most common ant species that can create infestations in your home, and the appropriate method of control so that you can not only take the necessary preventative measures, but also get the best out of your household pest treatments.
