Black house ants
The tiny dark ants that trail along kitchen counters and window sills, hunting for crumbs and sugar.
The ants we treat in East Rand homes
South African homes face a mix of local nuisance ants and invasive species. Here's what we treat most often.
Argentine ants
South Africa's most common invasive ant. They form massive colonies with multiple queens and can overrun a home fast.
Sugar ants
Attracted to sweets, spills and pet food. They leave scent trails that keep the colony coming back.
Pavement ants
Often found under pavers, driveways and along foundations. They push soil inside through cracks.
Why ants keep coming back
Water & moisture
Ants need water. Leaking taps, damp walls and condensation points attract them year-round.
Entry points
Gaps under doors, cracked grout, weep holes and pipe penetrations are highways for ants.
DIY sprays spread them
Supermarket sprays kill visible ants but scatter the colony. Professional targeted spraying treats the nest and the trails.
How we stop them
Our ant treatment is built around professional spraying, exclusion and follow-up, not a quick once-over.
- Inspect the trail, nest site and entry points.
- Apply professional insecticide sprays to nests, trails and entry points.
- Seal weep holes, cracks and pipe gaps where possible.
- Schedule a follow-up to confirm the colony is down.
Family & pet safe
We use low-odor, targeted products applied in cracks and crevices, not broad fogging. Safe re-entry in about an hour.
