Tips to keep ants away
While there is a wide range of do-it-yourself products available in the market to get rid of ants, an effective control requires a professional pest control service to manage the infestation and minimise recurrence. Our service technicians understand the habits of different types of ant and can offer discreet and targeted ant control.
At Rentokil, our ant control treatment and solutions are designed for both domestic and commercial customers, regardless of the size of the infestation.
Here are a few common signs you may have an ant problem:
Determining whether ants live inside or your home is critical for choosing the right ant removal strategy. For indoor ant infestations, the focus is on finding the source, whether it's a nest within your walls or entry points they exploit. Strategies like bait traps, which lure ants back to feed with bait, and targeted sprays applied to cracks and crevices can be effective. For larger infestations, seeking professional intervention might be necessary for complete colony elimination.
On the other hand, addressing outdoor ant colonies may focus more on prevention and perimeter defense. Applying perimeter treatments with baits, sprays, or granules around your home creates a barrier to stop ants from entering. If you can locate the outdoor nest, targeted treatment can work to eliminate the entire colony.
Common types of ants which can be normally found in Maldives are Carpenter Ants and Yellow Crazy Ants. Correct identification of ant species is crucial before carrying out ant control treatment as different species have different diet, nesting and foraging habits.
