Ways to avoid an ant problem if you are located in Burpengary East
You can reduce the appeal of your home to ants by using some simple pointers. If you go and check your rubbish bin area now and see bins that are stuffed with food waste on the ground, you can be pretty sure that if you don't have an ant infestation by now that one will soon follow very quickly. Keep bench tops and surfaces clear of food discards 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.

Some of them can be quite dangerous with a nasty bite and some will just co-habitate with us peacefully.
