Why Ants Are a Problem
Ants may be fascinating creatures, but they can also be a big problem for Western Australia homeowners. These tiny insects march in by the thousands and can be difficult to control. Some types of ants can bite humans and pets and may even cause damage to your property. Each ant colony will have a queen whose sole job is to produce as much offspring as possible. That’s how ants can reproduce so quickly! Queen ants can live for 10 or more years and can lay countless eggs at a time.
The Types of Ants in Western Australia
It’s important to find out what type of ant you’re dealing with so that you can eradicate them before problems occur. There are several types of ants found in Perth, Australia, including the argentine ant, Singapore ant, fire ant, black house ant, bull ant, white footed house ant, and more. The most common type of ant that we deal with at Power Over Pests is the Coastal Brown Ant. This ant is small and brown in color, and it usually appears around brick paving outside homes. It can multiply rapidly and lead to severe infestations. This species is not just annoying to humans, but it’s one of the worst invasive species on the planet and is a danger to native wildlife.
