Signs of Ant Infestation in Your Property
Ant Trails
Ant trails are visible pathways where ants travel between their nests and food sources. These trails typically appear on walls, floors, kitchen countertops, and around entry points. If you notice consistent lines of ants marching in formation, it indicates an established colony nearby.
Ant Nests
Ant nests are often hidden in dark, undisturbed areas such as under floorboards, within wall cavities, beneath garden pavers, or in lawn areas. You may notice small mounds of soil with visible entrances around your yard. An unexpected surge of ants emerging from a single location typically indicates a nearby nest.
Food Contamination
Ants contaminate food by traversing paths searching for crumbs, sugary substances, pet food, and other accessible food sources. If you discover ants crawling on your countertops, in your pantry, or food spoiling prematurely, consider it a clear indication of infestation. They're particularly attracted to improperly stored items that aren't kept in airtight containers.
Unusual Ant Activity
Unusual activity, such as a profusion of ants moving in consistent patterns or appearing in large numbers during specific times, indicates an ant colony's existence. These sightings, especially during warmer months, serve as unmistakable signs of infestation that require professional attention.
Structural Damage
Particular ant species, especially carpenter ants, can cause significant damage to wooden structures. Evidence includes wood shavings (frass), hollow-sounding wood, soft spots in walls or flooring, and compromised structural integrity. White ants (termites), though technically not true ants, cause similar devastating damage and require immediate professional treatment.
Why Ant Infestations Require Professional Treatment
Many property owners attempt DIY ant control using store-bought products, but these provide only temporary relief. Ants pose serious health risks by contaminating food sources, biting humans with pincer-like jaws, triggering allergic reactions from fire ant stings, and spreading diseases through bacterial transfer.
Professional ant removal is essential because certain species cause significant structural damage. Carpenter ants hollow out wood, weakening buildings, white ants consume timber, costing thousands in repairs, and fire ants damage electrical systems. Ant colonies reproduce exponentially, with queens laying thousands of eggs, and Argentine ants maintain multiple queens per colony. Over-the-counter baits and sprays only kill visible ants without eliminating the colony or queen, allowing infestations to persist and worsen rapidly.
Common Ant Species We Control in Sydney
Black House Ants
These small, dark-colored ants are the most common household invaders in Sydney. They typically nest outdoors but venture inside searching for food sources, particularly sugary substances and proteins.
Carpenter Ants
Large black or red ants that excavate wood to create nesting galleries. Unlike white ants, carpenter ants don't consume wood but tunnel through it, causing serious structural damage to beams, doors, window frames, and foundations if left untreated.
Argentine Ants
These light to dark brown ants form super-colonies with multiple queens, making them highly invasive. They reproduce rapidly and aggressively eliminate other ant species from their territory, making them particularly difficult to control without professional intervention.
Fire Ants
Fire ants pose health risks due to their painful, venomous stings that can cause severe allergic reactions. They build distinctive mound nests in lawns and can also nest in electrical equipment, potentially causing short circuits or equipment malfunctions.
Pharaoh Ants
These tiny yellow to light brown ants are a serious health concern as they carry and spread harmful bacteria, including Salmonella and E. coli. Common in hospitals, restaurants, and apartment buildings, pharaoh ants can contaminate food and medical supplies.
White Ants (Termites)
Though not true ants, white ants are among Australia's most destructive pests. They consume cellulose in wood and cause extensive property damage. Signs include damaged timber, hollow sounds when tapping wood, mud tubes on walls, and discarded wings.
