Ant Exterminator FAQs

Why do I have ants in my Adelaide home?

Ants usually enter homes looking for food, moisture, or shelter. Common attractants include crumbs, pet food, and water leaks. Once they find a reliable source, they’ll return in larger numbers. Adelaide’s climate also encourages outdoor ant activity, increasing the risk of indoor invasions if entry points aren’t sealed.

Are ants dangerous or just annoying?

Most ants are just a nuisance, but some species can cause problems. Coastal brown ants may damage pavers or foundations, while others contaminate food. In rare cases, some ant bites or stings may cause allergic reactions. Large infestations can also attract other pests like spiders or cockroaches.

What types of ants are common in Adelaide?

Adelaide homes commonly see black house ants, coastal brown ants, and Argentine ants. Each species behaves differently and nests in specific areas. Some prefer walls and ceilings, while others live in soil or under paving. Identifying the species helps pest technicians choose the right control method.

How do professionals get rid of ants?

Professionals use targeted treatments like gel baits, surface sprays, and dusts. These methods eliminate both the ants you see and the hidden nest. Baits are carried back to the colony, wiping it out at the source. Inspections also identify entry points so future invasions can be stopped.

Can I stop ants coming back?

Yes. Start by sealing gaps in doors, windows, and walls. Keep food sealed, wipe down benches, and avoid leaving pet food out. Fix dripping taps or water leaks. While these steps help, regular treatments are often needed in high-risk areas to keep ants away long term.

How quickly can an Adelaide technician attend?

Most pest control companies, including Jim’s, can attend within 24 to 48 hours. Some suburbs may even qualify for same-day service. Quick response is important because ants multiply fast. The sooner you act, the easier it is to control the problem before it spreads further.
