Ant Infestation – What You Need to Know

⚠MODERATE RISK

⚠️ What They Are

Carpenter ants and sugar ants are common in South African homes. Carpenter ants burrow into wood; sugar ants contaminate food sources.

🏠 How They Ruin Your Home

They contaminate food, damage wooden structures by hollowing them out, and create unsightly trails. Left unchecked, one colony splits into multiple nests.

🛠️ Extermination Process

Step 1 – Inspection to locate nests. Step 2 – Targeted gel baiting and liquid treatments. Step 3 – Perimeter barrier application to prevent re-entry.

⏰ Why It's Urgent

Ant colonies reproduce fast. Delaying treatment allows satellite colonies to form, making elimination exponentially harder and more expensive.
