Ants may be tiny, but they can cause big headaches. Once a few ants find their way inside, it doesn’t take long for them to invite the whole colony. At Pest Predators, we specialise in targeted, effective ant control that protects your home or business year-round.
Why Ants Invade Homes
Ants are constantly on the hunt for food, water, and shelter—three things your home has in abundance. They typically sneak in through small cracks or gaps, especially during:
- Spring and summer, when colonies are expanding
- After rain, when their outdoor nests get flooded
- Dry spells, when they’re searching for moisture
Common Types of Ants We Deal With
- Black ants: Often found in kitchens and bathrooms, attracted to sweets
- Carpenter ants: Can cause structural damage by tunneling through wood
- Pharaoh ants: Small but difficult to control, especially in buildings
- Fire ants: Aggressive, with painful stings—more common in yards and gardens
Are Ants Dangerous?
Most ants are more of a nuisance than a threat, but some can cause real problems:
- Food contamination: Ants can carry bacteria and contaminate food surfaces
- Property damage: Carpenter ants can weaken wood structures over time
- Allergic reactions: Fire ant stings can trigger serious responses in sensitive individuals
DIY Ant Control: Does It Work?
You might be tempted to handle ant problems with sprays, traps, or homemade remedies—but these usually just kill the ants you see, not the source of the infestation. Ant colonies can be massive, and without treating the nest, they’ll keep coming back.
