THE NEXT MAIN CULPRIT IS THE INDOOR BLACK ANT

This little guy often appears out of the back of your pantry, light fitting, hole in a corner and is often seen tracking up the outside wall into the roof space. He gives the impression sometimes that he lives outside and is coming in when in most cases he is in the roof space and is coming out.

TREATMENT

This guy is the hardest to get especially if you have a flat roof (no access hole) or if your roof space has insulation. Thankfully we have developed a way of treating them easily and safely that works. So much so that we give you a 12 month warranty.


THIRD IN LINE IS THE MEAT ANT (BULL ANT)

This is one that is in large numbers, black, about 1cm (1/2 inch) in length and his nest is usually situated on a bare patch of ground with lots of small holes in it. THIS GUY BITES (AND IT HURTS) (Not to be confused with the Desert ant which has a mound with a slot in the top)

TREATMENT

This guy is easy to fix and in expensive. We get bitten very often whilst doing this so only ring me when you really have to. :-)


THE DESERT ANT AND COMMON BLACK ANT BRING UP THE REAR.

The common black ant makes little holes every couple of feet and join these holes with thousands of little black ants. The Desert ant make mounds with a 'coin' slot on the top (Often on the nature strip) which are usually always joined together with other nests. Desert ants come in different colours but usually black and they are not known to bite. They will however as will the small black ants make very long trips to find food. (Or the dog bone)

TREATMENT

This is the same as the meat ant. The difference is "it is like shooting ducks in a barrel" and THEY DON'T BITE ME. So if you have these ones I am more than happy to get them all for you. We also give a 6 month warranty on these guys.
