Ant Pest Control

Common Ant Infestations

Carpenter Ants:
Carpenter Ants can pose a massive threat to wooden structures such as a wooden deck or shed. The night-time active ant can be identified by a homeowner: look for wooden dust/shavings, the entrance to the colonies nest will look like slots in wood with wooden particles/shavings at the entrance.

Carpenter ants can cause damage to wood and property when making nests

Little Black Ant:
These small ants are easily fed from un-clean kitchens. Their nests can be found inside the home in wooden furniture or walls. A homeowner may identify them as completely black in colour and foraging around the yard (where they can also be found) near the home or walking along the interior walls of the home.

Pavement Ant:
The Pavement Ant nests in small openings of stone and pavement structures such as stone patios and walkways. They can also enter the home via cracks in the structure and nest in floors and insulation. Foraging in a long trail, workers look different (especially the head) from the Little Black Ant despite having the same colour.
