Ants in Brisbane
Ants are a common problem in Brisbane households. If you find them in your home, don’t panic! Brisbane Pest Exterminators specialise in ant pest control. We will get rid of them quickly and efficiently, guaranteed.
There are several reasons why ants are so common in Brisbane. One reason is that the climate is conducive to growth. Ants thrive in warm, humid environments, and Brisbane certainly fits that bill. Another reason is that there is an abundance of food sources. In a natural setting, ants would feed on things like other insects and plants. However, in an urban environment like Brisbane, there are plenty of opportunities to find food in our trash cans and pantries.
So if you’re wondering why there seem to be so many ants in Brisbane, blame the climate and the food sources. Ants are generally considered to be nuisances and for good reason. They are often found in kitchens and pantries, where they search for food. This can lead to messy countertops and floors, as well as contaminate food supplies. In addition, they can also bite, and their bites can sometimes be painful. Some ants can also cause structural damage to homes. Carpenter ants, for example, tunnel through wood in order to build their nests. This can weaken the support beams in a home and put the structure at risk of collapse.
Brisbane Pest Control provides a variety of extermination and prevention ant control methods. Our team can conduct an inspection of your home and property to identify the species and recommend the best course of action. We also offer long-term solutions to keep ants from returning.
Signs You Have Ants
Ants are small, hard-bodied insects that are capable of entering your home through the tiniest of cracks. Once they’re inside, they can quickly become a nuisance. If you suspect that you have a problem, there are three key signs to look for.
First, ants will often leave a trail of pheromones as they travel from their nest to a food source. This trail can be observed as a line of insects marching along a surface.
Second, ants are attracted to food sources, so you may find them in your kitchen or pantry.
Finally, ants build nests by excavating soil from around your home. If you see piles of dirt near cracks or small openings, it’s likely that they’re using them as entrance points to their nests. If you spot any of these signs, it’s important to take action right away. Brisbane Pest Exterminators can help you get rid of ants and keep them from coming back. Call us today to learn more!
