Ants Infestation Prevention Tips!

As with cockroaches, it is important to ensure that food and drinks spills are cleaned up promptly, that bins are regularly emptied, and cans and bottles going into recycling are cleaned and rinsed before being disposed of in the garbage. Pet food should also be cleared away at the end of the day and their feeding areas kept clean.
Don’t leave food out on your kitchen bench overnight, nor should you leave food out for long periods of the day for that matter. Once you have finished with whatever food you have, store it properly in your pantry or fridge and clean any cutlery or kitchen utensils you used during your food preparation.

It helps to have loose foods stored in tight containers and ensure that any cracks around doors, windows, bathtubs and shower cubicles are sealed to reduce points of entry. You should perform a thorough inspection of your home to determine if there are any access points you could prevent. For example, overhanging branches can essentially provide a highway for insects and ants to enter your home. Trim back any branches (with council approval, of course) to minimise this threat. Similarly, seal any cracks in your home using a sealant or silicone.

You shouldn’t discount your pets either. Sometimes, your loyal companions can inadvertently invite unwanted insects into your home, often because their food and water bowls can attract insects. Make sure you keep their bowls relatively clean throughout the day and store dry pet food in sealed plastic containers, so you’re not attracting insects.
At the end of the day, however, it is important to understand that these tips will not solve your problems, especially if you have a serious infestation and need professional help from an ant exterminator. These strategies will only minimise the threat of ongoing infestations.

Frequently Asked Questions

Getting rid of ants completely might be difficult, but a professional pest treatment can be of great help. The biggest issue with DIY solutions is that they don't eliminate the nest, therefore they usually only function temporarily. Our experts use a specialised treatment aimed at wiping out the entire colony and thereby getting control.

Yes. The best way to get rid of ants is with a thorough ant control treatment. Our skilled technicians can identify the type of ants and apply targeted treatments that penetrate the colony completely to ensure total eradication.

Our expert pest control specialists conduct a tailored ant control treatment based on the nature and extent of infestation in your property. This consists of a combination of:

  • Baiting systems : These slow-acting baits are attractive to ants and eventually draw them back to the nest, where they gradually destroy the entire colony.
  • Dust and granules : When used strategically, dusts and granules form an impenetrable barrier that ants can't overcome, safeguarding your property.
  • Residual sprays : These long-lasting treatments work effectively against a variety of ant species, focusing on both the nest and the foraging ants to provide long-lasting control.

Yes, your family's and the environment’s safety comes first at Defender Pest Control Specialists. We only utilise pest control products that meet all Australian safety regulations and are designed especially for use in homes.

The length of time it takes to fully exterminate an ant colony depends on the extent of the infestation and the treatment plan. After starting treatment, you will see a noticeable reduction in ant activity within a few days. However, complete eradication may take a few weeks - typically 30 days - as the treatment needs time to transfer back to the colony at large.
