Ants
Ants are social insects that live in colonies, which can become a pest problem when they infiltrate buildings and homes. In New Zealand, several species of invasive ants, such as the black house ant, coastal brown ant, white-footed house ant, Darwin ant, and Argentine ant, are known to inhabit human spaces. Ant colonies construct intricate underground nests composed of interconnected chambers and tunnels where they raise their young, store food, and lay eggs. Their social behaviors are based on the collective efforts of the colony’s members, which are crucial for their survival and growth. With their high population density, controlling ant infestations can be challenging, especially when multiple colonies group together in one area.
Can I control the problem myself?
DIY ant control methods usually fall short in terms of effectiveness and durability. Over-the-counter pesticides for consumers may not be designed to target the specific ant species that is causing the issue, making them unusable in controlling ant colonies. Spray products like fly spray may help in knocking down the ants you spray, but they do not provide long-term or residual protection.
