Garden Ant

Ants

Ants are mostly small, but some ants are even smaller. Chemical trails are important to ants. It’s how they find food. So, if you have hordes of ants, sweeping majestically across your wall, or milling around your sink, it’s probably food they’re after. A few trailblazers set the chemical signposts and the other ants follow.

If you have Garden ants invading your home or workplace, then you may experience your ant problem every year. Sometimes, the first you’ll know about it is when they all decide to go flying! This is actually part of the mating or swarming cycle, but what the hell, it can be a little inconvenient when it happens inside rather than outside! But don’t worry! We have the technology!

What can we do about ants?

The problem with ants is usually identifying which ones you have. Obviously, black ants, or Garden ants, are quite easy to identify. But there are other ants, like Pharoah’s ants and Ghost ants, which are not so easy. These smaller ants can’t usually be eradicated by spraying. Still, they can be dealt with. We know how to get rid of them, which is helpful, so give us a call.
