The Problem
Ants are one of New Zealand's most persistent household pests. Argentine ants, white-footed house ants, and Darwin ants can quickly establish large colonies in walls, under floors, and around kitchens. They contaminate food, damage electrical wiring, and can bite or sting. In warmer months (December to March), ant activity surges as colonies expand and forage aggressively indoors.
Signs of Infestation
- Visible ant trails along walls, benchtops, or windowsills
- Small mounds of dirt near foundations or paving
- Ants in food storage areas or around pet bowls
- Winged ants appearing indoors (swarming season)
- Rustling sounds inside wall cavities
Our Treatment Approach
Targeted gel baiting systems that eliminate entire colonies
Perimeter spray treatments creating a protective barrier
Dust treatments for wall cavities and roof voids
Non-repellent transfer sprays for colony knockdown
Ongoing monitoring and prevention plans
