Why Are Ants a Problem?

Ants are social insects that live in colonies of thousands. They are skilled at locating food and can adapt to a range of environments. When ants find what they are looking for, whether it be crumbs or spills, they settle in quickly. They can start contaminating food, posing health concerns, and causing damage to the property. 

Ants predominantly thrive in spaces where there is sweet or protein-rich food available, leaving a trail for other ants to follow. These pests can carry up to 10 to 50 times their bodyweight, potentially bringing in contaminated materials into your home or business. It is crucial to identify an ant problem quickly so it can be tackled before it becomes a larger and more difficult problem.

RS Pest Control Process

At RS Pest Control, we take a detailed and strategic approach to ant infestations. Our qualified technicians begin by conducting a thorough inspection to determine the extent of the problem. Based on findings, we then use a combination of techniques to target the problem effectively: 

 

  • Inspection and Identification 

 

We will inspect your property and determine the seriousness of the problem. We will analyse any pest activity, including droppings, sightings, and previous issues. In terms of ants, we will locate any nests and find out the type of ant we are dealing with.

  • Bait Systems

 

One of the most reliable and environmentally friendly methods we use is baiting. These carefully formulated baits contain an agent that the ants will carry back to their colony. This will then be shared amongst the other ants to rid you of your ant problem eventually.

 

  • Insecticide

 

Insecticides, as a form of chemical control, are widely used to treat an ant infestation. They are used around entry points, surfaces, and directly in the area to eliminate the ant problem
