Ant Control
Ants are one of the most common household pests, and while they may seem harmless at first, they can quickly become a major issue if left unchecked.
Ants are social insects that live in colonies, and their numbers can multiply rapidly. They are notorious for invading kitchens and pantries in search of food, and some species, like carpenter ants, can cause structural damage to your property.
At Protec Pest Control, we understand the challenges posed by ant infestations and offer comprehensive ant control services in Adelaide to keep your home or business ant-free. We utilise various methods, including ant baits, which are effective in targeting entire colonies and ensuring gradual eradication.
If you are experiencing an ant infestation on your property, get in touch with us today and we can quickly eradicate the issue.
Our Services
Protec Pest Control offers a full range of ant control services designed to address both the immediate problem and prevent future infestations, including:
Detailed Inspection
Our first step is to conduct a thorough inspection of your property to identify the species of ant and locate the ant nests. Different ant species require different treatment approaches, so accurate identification is key to effective control.
Customised Treatment Plans
Based on the inspection, we develop a tailored treatment plan that targets the specific ant species on your property. Our treatments may include baiting systems, which are transported back to the nest by worker ants, liquid insecticides, and barrier treatments that are safe and effective.
Barrier Treatments
We apply barrier treatments around the exterior of your property to prevent ants from entering and establishing new colonies. These treatments are particularly effective at keeping ants from re-entering your home after the initial infestation has been dealt with.
Ongoing Monitoring and Maintenance
After the initial treatment, we offer ongoing monitoring and maintenance services to ensure that the ants do not return. This may include reapplying barrier treatments and inspecting for new nests. Read more…
Our Process
Initial Consultation
We begin by discussing your ant problem and gathering information about where you’ve seen ant activity. This helps us plan our inspection and treatment strategy.
Comprehensive Inspection
Our technicians conduct a detailed inspection of your property, focusing on areas where ants are commonly found, such as kitchens, bathrooms, and around windows and doors. We also look for signs of ant trails and nests.
Targeted Treatment
Based on the inspection, we apply targeted treatments to eliminate ants at their source. This may involve placing bait stations near ant trails, applying liquid insecticides to high-traffic areas, and treating the perimeter of your property with a barrier spray. These pest control methods are designed to effectively control ants and prevent them from returning.
Prevention Measures
After the initial treatment, we work with you to implement preventive measures to reduce the risk of future infestations. This includes sealing entry points, maintaining cleanliness, and addressing moisture issues that may attract ants.
Follow-Up Inspections
We schedule follow-up inspections to monitor the effectiveness of the treatment and make any necessary adjustments. If needed, we provide additional treatments to ensure that your property remains ant-free.

Frequently Asked Questions
We treat all common ant species, including black house ants, coastal brown ants, winged ants, carpenter ants, fire ants, pavement ants, and sugar ants. Each species has its own unique behaviour and nesting habits, and we tailor our treatment plans accordingly.
The time required to eliminate an ant infestation depends on the severity of the problem. In many cases, significant reductions can be seen within a few days, with complete eradication achieved after follow-up treatments. We also provide ongoing monitoring to ensure the infestation does not return.
To prevent ants from returning, it’s important to maintain good sanitation practices, such as keeping food sealed, cleaning up crumbs and spills immediately, and regularly taking out the trash. Sealing cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and walls can also help prevent ants from entering your home. Additionally, preventing ant infestations is crucial to avoid ant bites, which can cause redness, swelling, and pain, and may require medical attention, especially for those who are allergic.
