The Ants go marching on… and on and on

We respect these hardworking foraging tiny creatures, one of the world’s strongest creatures in relation to its size and the longest living insects. They play crucial role in the eco-system. Yet we simply cannot let them have free reign in our homes and make our living space their kingdom.

Fire ants can infest and short-circuit electrical equipment. The common garden ant are a sure nuisance, their endless scurrying on your counters, kitchen sink and bathrooms They’re no fun in the sugar bowl, unsightly in general leaving you feeling your home is just not properly clean and of cause they get into our food supplies.

How do we deal with ant infestations?
Perimeter Treatment - Any treatment to the perimeter of the premises is a very effective short-term knockdown aiming to prevent ants from entering your premises in the first place. It is impossible for us to eradicate the source of the problem under the ground, so we just offer a temporary solution to a bigger problem.

Residual Treatment
Combined with a perimeter spray to outside walls we also treat inside by means of a residual spray applied to problem areas. The insecticidal spray treatment leaves a residual of active ingredient behind and this can cause the ants to be stimulated in the process of poisoning. So please do not worry, the ant activity should decrease after about a week.

Ant Bait Treatment
We can also apply revolutionary ant bait gels and granules in strategic places inside. These environmentally friendly, non-toxic and odorless ant gels and granules are a food source that is taken by the ants back down into the nests and kills from within. For best results it does need to be re-applied, and follow-up visits are necessary.

Garden & Lawn Treatment
Our garden & lawn treatments are also very effective in the short term. As this treatment involves applying a water soluble chemical outside, and we cannot control the weather patterns, unfortunately we cannot offer any guarantee. Rain washes the chemical away and the UV of the sun also breaks down the active ingredient. Recommended for dry winter months.
