Ants are common and harmless garden dwellers. Occasionally they enter our buildings and become pests, therefore our ant control products are invaluable. We offer insecticide powder and sprays for black ant and red ant control, as well as kits and baits. When dealing with ants it is important to deal with the nest, otherwise the problem will be a recurring one.
Ant sprays can be used in to ways the first way is to eliminate the colony by spraying it directly and within the surrounding area. The second way is to use the spray to create a ‘barrier’ by directly spraying window frames, door steps, drains etc. This will leave an insecticidal residue across entry points to stop ants entering homes and buildings.
Ant powders are perfect for dusting into dry but hard to access areas such as under floor boards, behind skirtings, into cracks and crevices and under cupboards. As long as it is kept dry it can remain active for many months.
Ant traps and bait stations are the best way to eliminate a whole colony, but patience is required as it relies on the ants bringing the bait back to the colony. The poison within the bait is slow acting so by the time the whole colony have sampled the bait it is too late and they will all have consumed a lethal dose. The whole colony should be eliminated within a couple of weeks. Make sure that you have enough bait stations to feed the whole colony.
