Tips for getting rid of your ant problem

Depending on where you live, different species of ants can cause various infestations and problems. We are familiar with types of ants around Melbourne.

Depending on the species of ant, treatment types will vary. Some ants prefer sweet foods, while some prefer protein. Some have large, one-off nests while others have a series of satellite nests that can make them more difficult to get rid of. Some ants prefer to nest inside while some ants prefer to nest outside.

Here are some tips for keeping ants at bay:

  • Seal up cracks and gaps as best as you can

  • Rinse out recycle items and make sure your garbage and compost can be sealed with a lid

  • Keep your compost heap away from your house

  • Treat any invaders before the numbers multiply. Ants leave pheromone trails while foraging, so where there’s one there will soon be more!
