How do we treat ant infestations Melbourne
Many property owners often believe that buying from hardware stores will do the job and get rid of ants. While this might work for a while, it won’t get rid of all of them as they can detect and avoid it. Our non-repellent method can kill the ants slowly allowing it to take the product back to their main colony.
How to prevent ants infestations
The only way to address ant infestation is to address the reasons why it’s happening.
Keep your home clean: Ants are attracted to food crumbs and spills, so make sure to clean regularly.
Seal entry points: Ants prefers nesting in cracks and gaps, so try to seal these gaps.
Store food properly: Keep food in airtight containers, especially sweets and snacks.
Take out rubbish: Waste food attracts ants as they always try to find for one. Make sure you seal your bins properly.
Eliminate water sources: Fix any leaky taps or pipes and avoid leaving standing water in sinks.
Maintain your garden: Keep plants and shrubs trimmed back from your home. Ants often use branches to enter.
