Trail-and-nest colonies drawn to kitchens and paving - treated at the source, not just the visible trail.
Signs of Infestation
Visible trails along skirting boards, countertops, or paving, small entry points near doors and windows, and satellite nests in wall voids or garden beds.
Health Risks
Most household ants pose low direct health risk, though some species can bite or sting, and ants moving across food surfaces can transfer bacteria picked up from bins or drains.
Impact On Your Business
In food service, ant trails near prep areas are a common health-inspection citation; in retail, customers tend to associate any visible ants with poor hygiene, regardless of the actual cause.
