From the bulldog ant which is one of the most dangerous ants in the world to the common black and coastal brown ants which commonly infests our homes in Australia. However it's quite rare for us to have to deal with the more exotic species of ants when helping homeowners get rid of the pests. As every species of ants has different characteristics we have to adjust the type of treatment that we use to get rid of an infestation in Griffin. Different ant species will behave differently when it comes to feeding, breeding and the way they move about the property. Depending upon the circumstances of each case we will look at implementing as many different types of treatment that we think will be most effective. We are able to apply treatments directly to the paths that the ants will use. These treatments will be toxic to the ants and so help resolve the infestation problem.

All our ant treatments have a 12 month internal warranty and a 3 month external warranty period.
