Ants and Fire Ants control

Killing the ants you see rarely solves the problem. We track ants back to the colony and deal with it at the source.

About ants and fire ants

Understanding the problem

Ants are social insects that send out foragers for food, leaving scent trails for others to follow. The colony and queen stay hidden, so surface sprays seldom work for long. Some species, such as fire ants, also deliver a painful sting.

Warning signs

Signs of ants and fire ants

  • Trails of ants moving to and from food
  • Small piles of soil or sand at nest entrances
  • Ants around bins, pet bowls and sweet foods
  • Winged ants indoors, a sign of a nearby nest
Why it matters

The risks

  • Contaminate food as they forage
  • Fire ants deliver painful stings
  • Large colonies are hard to clear without treating the nest
  • Some species nest in walls and electrical points
Our approach

How we treat ants and fire ants

We identify the species and use baits that foragers carry back to the colony, treating it at the source rather than just the trail. For fire ants and outdoor colonies we treat nests directly and proof the entry points they use.

Keep them away
