This year we have seen a change in the ant population and movements compared to previous years, with many more customers requesting multiple visits after getting an Ant Treatment to fix their issues. Whether it’s from the strange weather patterns we have been having or the population has risen, ants are certainly making themselves known.
Ants can be a tricky pest to treat. You could have an ants nest located in the wall cavity of your property and not even know it until you complete a treatment or until they decide to venture away from their nest for food. Unfortunately, a lot of people will wake up in the morning to a kitchen or pantry full of ants and not know where they are coming from. The good news is, Gippsland Pest Management has a few ways that can help reduce the population of ants at your property. The best course of action is to do a yearly Ant, Spider, Native Cockroach Treatment to keep these tiny pests under control. Even if you’re not having active issues onsite, it’s always best to be cautious and not leave it too long between treatments as the population can grow again in a short amount of time.
Having issues with ants, both inside and outside of your house, can make you want to rip your hair out. They are tiny little pests, who are always attracted to your pantry, and they always bring unwanted guests with them. Always make sure to clean up any spilt food or drinks around the property to minimise the risk of ants being attracted to it. If possible, try and store items like sugar or anything sweet in sealed containers always make sure to wipe down your rubbish bin regularly. Pet food is also a big food source for ants as they require large amounts of protein in their diet and pet food ticks all the boxes so make sure to clean your pet’s food and water bowls.
