Live ants
Ants forage in search of food when you a large number of them parading in any are of home, follow the trail. This is the best way to check and see the location of the nest. Once you find it, don’t try to remove it instead call the support of pest exterminator. Why is this so? Because there are a variety of ant species and it is important to identify what kind of ant is invading your residence. Maybe it’s a Bull ant or a combination of many. Make it a habit to keep your kitchen and dining are spic and span. Keep your food tightly sealed in air-tight containers. For liquids, make sure the containers are spill-proof. Ensure garbage is disposed of immediately especially for wet crap.
Ant Nest
Most ant nest site has a small heap of dirt surrounding it unlike Bull ants, it’s not present. As aforementioned they live in hollow tree trunks, rotten logs and or burrowed in bushy places. Though some species of ant have homes in dark places which are more challenging to spot.
Occasionally, there are instances where ants can come in and outside of your area. They’re attracted to sweet and sticky food that is why it is important to keep your area mess-free. As a preventive measure, here are a few ways where you can control ants from gaining entry at your dwelling.

What should I do if I accidentally touch any of the areas that have been sprayed?
This will only be a concern if the sprayed areas are still wet. Should this happen, wash with soap and lots of water as soon as you possibly can. After a relatively short period of time, the carrier, tap water will have evaporated and will not harm you in any way should you come into contact with the area.
Will the gel that you use on the inside of my cupboards cause any contamination to the food inside?
We apply the gel only to places within the cupboard where insects are found. This means it will only be applied to cracks, crevices, and hinges.
Am I likely to see the return of pests after the treatment?
It is possible that insects such as ants, spiders or cockroaches may venture inside your property after the treatment has been completed. However, there is a very high likelihood that they will have crossed treated areas and will die very soon afterward.
