What affects the cost of ant control?
- Scope of work: interior only, exterior only, or combined interior + exterior (best for preventing future infestations).
- Infestation severity & species: multi-nest activity or bait-averse species may require more product and a planned follow-up.
- Property size & access / location: large sections, complex landscaping, roof/under-floor work add time on site.
- Timing & seasonality: peak summer months can amplify activity; a short follow-up window may be recommended.
- Residential vs commercial: commercial pest control may include after-hours servicing and documentation for audits.

How we deliver effective treatments
- Identify the species and map problem areas (trails, moisture, food sources, structural gaps).
- Baiting with professional gels and liquid baits selected for the species (including boric acid formulations where suitable).
- Non-repellent perimeter control at key entry points to stop re-invasion.
- Safety first: we use EPA-approved products (EPA—formerly ERMA New Zealand) with clear prep and re-entry guidance for family and pets.
- Prevention advice to reduce risk of future infestations.
DIY vs professional
DIY aerosols and general sprays can scatter trails without reaching the queen which can make controlling the nest harder. Pest control experts match baits to species, place them precisely, and pair them with non-repellent perimeter work—so you eliminate the colony rather than chase it room to room.
