Ant Control Cairns – Do you have Ants?

Ants should not be confused with Termites sometimes called white ants. This serious pest to buildings requires a completely different approach when it comes to identification and treatment methods

There are many different species of ant, some are found within the home while others are more likely to be discovered around the outside of a property or on the ground.

Some are predators and some are scavengers. Its scavengers that have most successfully exploited people’s dwellings and are more generally considered pests within the home.

Signs of ants

  • Trails –ants will follow set trails to food sources and return to the nest with their spoils to feed the colony.
  • Trash/shelter tubes- often ants form a soft web like casing  consisting of dead ants/insects, nesting material or earth.
  • Nesting – ants generally nest in concealed areas of the home and are rarely discovered. Ants that live outside are far more likely to be discovered in or leading to a nest.

Why should ants be controlled?

Ants are mostly considered a nuisance pest in and around homes and workplace however ants can carry organisms that cause disease to humans. Foraging ants can spoil stored food and some are capable of delivering a nasty bite or sting.
