Ant Control
Colony-targeted treatment for the ant species that invade Sri Lankan homes, kitchens and gardens.
The ants marching across a kitchen counter are foragers; the colony that sends them lives in a wall void, under a slab or in the garden. Spraying the trail removes the workers you can see and leaves the nest to send more. Lasting control means reaching the colony.
We identify the species first — sugar- and protein-feeding ants need different baits — then place gel and granular baits along trails and at entry points. Workers carry the bait back to the nest, where it works through the colony over one to two weeks.
Where ants have nested inside walls or under slabs, we combine baiting with a careful crack-and-crevice treatment. We also look for the condition behind the invasion: leaking taps, pet food left out and gaps around pipes all feed the problem.
What's covered
What to expect
Allow one to two weeks for baiting to work through the colony. Avoid spraying insecticide near the bait placements during that period.
Common questions
Why does spraying the ants not work?
Spraying kills the foragers you see; the colony keeps sending more. Baits are taken back to the nest and work through the whole colony, which is the only way to stop the trail for good.
Are the baits safe around children and pets?
Baits are placed inside cracks, under appliances and out of reach, and we use stations where access cannot be avoided. Tell us where children and pets spend time and we position everything accordingly.
Testimonials
What customers say
The technician found the termite trail in the garden before touching the house, treated the nest, and showed me the mud tubes to watch. Eight months on, the monitors are still clear.
They moved our kitchen from monthly spraying to a baiting programme and the difference showed within a fortnight. The service reports after each visit are exactly what our auditor asks for.
