COMMON ANT QUESTIONS

Ants are not only an eyesore, but also a danger to humans and property. Termites can cause food spoilage and damage to structures, wiring, and attics. Although they do not spread illness, they may spread dirt and other unsanitary materials. They also have the ability to bite! Since they tend to nest in huge groups, an infestation can rapidly worsen.

As cold blooded creatures, ants really appreciate any source of heat. In general, ant populations flourish in hotter, more humid regions, or during the colder months, ants will seek shelter indoors. But they’re really just looking around for food and supplies! Infestation hotspots in the home include the kitchen and bathrooms.

Until you actually see them, you might not know there is an infestation. Tiny ants hide in cracks and crevices until they’re hungry or thirsty, at which point they emerge to forage. Multiple points of entry need to be sealed in your home. With our treatment, they will be gone for good.

Ants seek to areas that are warm and damp. That’s why they spend so much time there. Ants are attracted to the scent of honeydew and sugar, so it’s important to clean up any spills of water or juice very once. Keep perishables in the fridge and use airtight containers or seal bags.

COMMON ANTS

SOUTHERN ANT

APPEARANCE

3–4 millimetres long, and can range in colour from orange with darker markings to entirely black.

LIFESTYLE

Southern ant colonies consist of multiple castes, including queens, males, and workers. The queen’s primary role is to reproduce, while workers are responsible for foraging, nest maintenance, and caring for the brood. Colonies can range in size from a few thousand to tens of thousands of ants.

HABITS

This is, by far, the most common native ant species in New Zealand. The southern ant can survive in most habitats such as the forests, grassland, gardens or rotting logs.

STRIATED ANT

APPEARANCE

On average, a Striated Ant measures 7mm – 9mm in length and has a striated head and body marked with lines.

LIFESTYLE

Striated ants reproduce through nuptial flights, where winged males and females leave the nest to mate. After mating, males die, and fertilised females land to start new colonies. Queens shed their wings and begin laying eggs to establish new colonies.

HABITS

They can also survive in multiple habitats. There is evidence that striated ants capture live snails and devour them for food.
