You may see them in long, winding trails around your home, black ants have become unwanted visitors for many Brisbane households. The reason a lot of them emerge before and during wet weather is simply a survival trait they possess. Black ants can sense changes in atmospheric pressure prompting them to seek higher or drier ground to ensure their nests don’t get flooded in. So where do they then take refuge? Where better than your dry and comfortable home.

Alan advises that the problem with simply taking out your trusty old can of insect repellant spray is that although it can kill the ants you see, the ongoing effects are futile. He notes that black ants will simply walk around the sprayed zones and continue to thrive. Ant nests can be quite substantial and it’s important you seek the advice of a trusted and registered pest controller to address these little critters. Pest Controllers, such as Conquer Termites Brisbane (Northside), use specialised non-repellant sprays. These are safe chemicals that are hardly detectable to humans and form a protective barrier around the exterior of your home. Following this, Alan and his team use special gels that act as “food” for these ants which not only kill them, but will be passed on to other ants through it’s active ingredients, eventually killing every member of its population.
