Ants
We have a great understanding of the habits and nature of the various types of ants that are common in our area.Ants are very social and are generally found in very large in numbers. Most Ants that are encountered are a nuisance, getting into the kitchen cupboards or benches looking for food that has been left or walking around in the bathrooms or bedrooms searching for moisture. However, having said that there are some that give a nasty bite and should be avoided where possible. e.g Green ants, Bull Ants.
Many people tend to see some Ants, grab the fly spray or buy some products from the supermarket or the hardware store and spray them and think “well that’s it, I`ve got them”. Unfortunately this is not the case most of the time…….Whilst you have definitely eliminated the ones you see there is a still an nest full of replacements just waiting to come back and annoy you again and again.
- We offer professional and targeted Ant control techniques and as always, we ensure all of our treatment methods and products are safe for families and pets. To ensure we get it right we can offer an inspection inside and outside of your premises and we will create and implement a treatment plan based on your infestation.
Helpful ways to reduce the risk of Ants infesting your home
- Interior – Ensure food preparation areas are kept wiped down and clean, clean any spills of food or drink as soon as possible to avoid inviting Ants into the home.
- Exterior – Ensure that any overhanging trees or vegetation are kept clear of the building, Ants will track along the foliage and walk straight into the building via any means. Seal any cracks around the building to minimise entry points.
- Ensure to have regular treatments carried out as per the advice of your local pest technicians at SJM Pest Management.
