There are numerous species of ants regarded as pests in South Australia and can be one of the more difficult pests to control. They have a very structured caste system with each member of the caste responsible for a specific role in their society. Ants can live for long periods setting up new nests and colonies. Most infestations become severe if not treated. They can enter your home in cracks and crevices, setting up colonies in areas such as wall cavities and ceiling voids. They forage looking for food and moisture hence they are found in kitchens and bathroom areas. Ants are more active in the warmer months however most home owner pest control programs are not effective due to foraging ants making up only a small portion of the colony. Targeting nests has proven to be a long term solution to ant control.
Control Methods
We have adopted a search and destroy method rather than relying on conventional residual spray methods. We use sweetened gels impregnated with odourless insecticides placed in strategic areas for foraging ants to transfer to the nest. Insecticidal dusts are placed in wall cavities and ceiling voids to target nesting sites.
