Ants are one of the main pests found commercially and domestically in Australia. There are hundreds of known ant species and those which usually become pests are broadly divided into two main groups, Black Ants and Brown Ants.
Ants have varying food preferences and constantly scavenge for food. Local Pest Control Canberra methods are dependent upon many contributing factors including; species of ants, seasonal conditions, life cycle stage and colony requirements. Ants often nest inside cavities between building levels, inside walls, roof voids and moisture affected timber. They can be difficult to control as they may track great distances from a colony in a neighboring property. The prime objective of any control is to locate and treat the nest, which at times can be tedious and time consuming. Often holes may need to be drilled into walls and voids, such as inaccessible ceiling cavities, to reach the nest. Ant Control Treatment Interior treatment is usually in the form of Ant Infestation which combine an attractant and a poison. These baits are quite effective, in that the poisons are designed to be transferred between the worker ants and ultimately taken back to the nest where eradication of the entire ant colony is achieved. External treatment around facilities and potential or real access areas where ants may enter the buildings includes localized or barrier band insecticide application. Placement of specific ant bait gels and granules to areas of ant activity e.g. ant trails and around nests is also a helpful methods of control. Read More:- Spring Pests And Prevention Tips
