Ants

The most common species of ant that will invade our property is the Black Garden Ant. They are highly organized social insects and it is the foraging worker ant that will invade buildings in search of food. They are attracted to sweet foodstuffs which they take back to the nest to feed the larvae and the queen.

Remove any food sources that the ants may be attracted to.

We can apply gel baits which the worker ants find and take back to the nest which will then kill the larvae and the queen. This can be applied discreetly in cracks and crevices close to the ant trails.

Flying ants, which are winged females often emerge in July / August. They can be treated with an insecticide or simply vacuumed up where they emerge inside.
