Ants have been around since the dinosaurs and are one of the strongest pests to ever exist. This species of insects can lift 100 times their own body weight. With around 10,000 known species of ants found across the globe, they are an absolute nuisance and a major problem on the Sunshine Coast. If you are sick of ants in your home contact Safeguard Pest Control for expert and prevention and control.
The Sunshine Coast is well-known for the presence of ants and experiences some of the highest sunshine levels in the world. With an average of almost 7 hours of sunshine a day, the coast generally remains warm all year round, providing an ideal climate for ants to breed in. Ants will enter homes in search of food and water, and once they invade your home they can become a real nuisance and difficult to eradicate.
Ants are more harmful than most people assume. Certain types of ants such as fire ants and harvester ants are known to sting animal and humans alike. Other species, such as carpenter ants can damage furniture and building material, which can be very frustrating for home owners.
The most common ants known to invade your home are red, black or brown in colour, narrower at the waist, and about 1/2″-1/4″ long. If you notice discarded wings these can be a sign that there is a colony of ants reproducing nearby.
If you encounter or identify an ant infestation, it is important to contact a pest control company urgently. For a guaranteed and effective service, you can hire the best ant pest control service providers in the Sunshine Coast.
