Ants

Ants benefit the environment by controlling pests, improving soil, and breaking down waste. However, invasive species like Black House Ants, Argentine Ants, Carpenter Ants and Fire Ants can invade homes, disrupt ecosystems, and pose risks to people, pets, and property. Professional pest control helps manage infestations effectively while protecting your home and minimising harm to the environment. Contact PESTMAC for specific advice tailored to a particular ant species or location.

Ant Prevention: Prevent Ants from Entering Your Home

After heavy rain, ants often seek shelter, food, and dry ground inside homes. Effective ant prevention starts with sealing entry points, keeping surfaces clean, managing moisture, trimming vegetation, and using natural deterrents like vinegar or citrus sprays. Small changes can make a big difference in keeping ants out.
