Ideas to help your home in Greenslopes stay free of ants
You can lower the attraction of your home to ants by using some straight forward steps. If you go and check your rubbish bin area now and see bins that are crammed with food scraps on the ground, you can be fairly certain that if you don't have an ant infestation already that one will soon follow very quickly. Keep bench tops and surfaces clear of food scraps and waste and clean often. Something a lot of families overlook when it comes to preventing ant infestations is how and where they feed the family pets. Make sure that they are never fed inside the house and keep their feed area clean and tidy. Stopping ants getting inside the house is another good step to take. Take a look around the outside of your property, wherever you find the trail of ants leads to, take action to prevent them getting in. While DIY methods can be of temporary assistance using a pest control company to complete a program of preventative treatments and inspections is by far the best option. This treatment is not for specific infestations but will keep breaking any breeding cycles of Cockroaches, Ants, Silverfish & Spiders.
Ants are societal insects that exist on most continents around the planet
In Australia we have approximately 1300 species. From the bulldog ant which is one of the most dangerous ants in the world to the common black and coastal brown ants which commonly infests our homes in Australia. However it's quite rare for us to have to deal with the more exotic species of ants when helping homeowners get rid of the pests. As every species of ants has different characteristics we have to adjust the type of treatment that we use to get rid of an infestation in Greenslopes. You must be aware ant species have different food preferences. Some are sugar feeders and some are protein feeders and some types like both but only feed on what is needed at the time. So it is not unusual to use multiple treatments at the same time. We are able to apply treatments directly to the paths that the ants will use. These treatments will be toxic to the ants and so help resolve the infestation problem. It is important to understand the treatment is not an instant cure and can take a few weeks to a month to reduce the populations and can take a few treatments. All our ant treatments have a 12 month internal warranty and a 3 month external warranty period.

The success of ant elimination starts with the queen
How do you eliminate the territory? You must Destroy the Queen! The Queen is the only member of the colony with the ability to reproduce, and eradicating her will reduce the numbers until they are no ants left. The effect is not rapid. It is rather subtle and can sometimes take some time due to the high number density of the colony.
As she is somewhere deep in the territory beneath the ground, eradicating the Queen may appear to be an hard challenge. with a very little perseverance your house's ant free again!
