Stop them in their tracks
Ants are the cause of many frustrations and problems. They are perfectly suited to living around houses and gardens, and are largely nomadic, so nests will migrate from place to place as conditions change. Ants are hard to kill because they have a hard exoskeleton that protects them from surface sprays and they protect themselves by constructing their nests in hard to reach places, such as voids or under concrete slabs.
Ant Treatment
There is no magic solution to ant problems, they will come and go at their whim. To be successful, treatment must be integrated, ongoing and persistent. It is best to use a variety of control methods and be prepared to alter the strategy in response to changing ant behaviour or new infestations as time goes on. For this reason at East Coast Pest Services we will attend your property, assess your ant problem and provide alternative management strategies for your consideration.
Ants are not just a nuisance; they can cause diseases such as salmonella by carrying it on their bodies and depositing it on food; they can cause electrical problems or even house fires; they can cause problems with communication and transport systems; and they also sting-bite and just plainly irritate us. They are one of the most persistent of pests and drive us mad with their unsightly nests and the rubbish they constantly toss out of them in our homes in the form of frass.
Even when the ants nest has moved on or been completely eradicated, the frass may still fall from inaccessible skillion roof structures, cracks and crevasses. New nests will also come along and take over sites abandoned by other ants.
