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.
