Types of Ants We Treat in Sydney
At GR Pest Control, we specialise in eliminating various ant species, including:
Sydney is home to a diverse range of ant species, each exhibiting unique behaviors and characteristics. Here are some of the most common ant species found in the Sydney region:
Black House Ant
(Ochetellus glaber)
Small, shiny black ants measuring approximately 2.5 to 3 millimeters in length.
Commonly found in urban areas, these ants often nest in wall cavities, roof voids, and beneath floorboards. Outdoors, they establish colonies in soil, under rocks, and within decaying wood.
Known for invading homes in search of food, particularly attracted to sweet substances. They can become a nuisance when they establish trails into kitchens and pantries.
Maintaining cleanliness by promptly cleaning up food spills and storing food in sealed containers can help deter these ants. Professional pest control may be necessary for persistent infestations.
Green-Headed Ant
(Rhytidoponera metallica)
Medium-sized ants, 5 to 7 millimeters long, with a distinctive metallic green or blue sheen on their bodies.
Typically nest in soil, leaf litter, and under stones in gardens and bushland areas. They are also found in urban environments, nesting in lawns and garden beds.
These ants are solitary foragers and do not form visible trails. They can deliver a painful sting if disturbed, which may cause allergic reactions in sensitive individuals.
Wearing protective clothing while gardening and avoiding disturbing their nests can prevent stings. If nests are located in high-traffic areas, professional removal may be warranted.
Bull Ant
(Myrmecia spp.)
Large ants ranging from 8 to 40 millimeters in length, with prominent mandibles and large eyes. Their coloration varies from red to black, depending on the species.
Prefer bushland and forested areas but can also be found in urban gardens. They build nests in soil, often with a visible entrance hole.
Known for their aggressive nature and powerful sting. Bull ants are solitary hunters, primarily active during the day, and have keen vision, allowing them to track intruders from a distance.
Due to their painful sting, it’s advisable to keep a safe distance from their nests. Professional pest control services should be engaged for nest removal, especially in residential areas.
Coastal Brown Ant
(Pheidole megacephala)
Small, light brown ants with two distinct sizes of workers: minor workers about 2 millimeters long and major workers (soldiers) up to 4 millimeters with disproportionately large heads.
Often nest in soil along pathways, under paving stones, and around building foundations. They can also establish colonies indoors, particularly in wall cavities and under floors.
These ants form extensive trails and are known to displace native ant species. They are attracted to a variety of foods, including proteins and sweets, making them common household pests.
Sealing entry points and maintaining good sanitation can help prevent infestations. Baiting strategies are often effective, but due to their complex colony structure, professional pest control may be necessary.
Argentine Ant
(Linepithema humile)
Small, light to dark brown ants approximately 2.5 to 3 millimeters in length.
Prefer moist environments and often nest in soil, under logs, and within building structures. They are highly adaptable and can establish large colonies in urban areas.
Known for forming supercolonies with multiple queens, allowing them to outcompete native ant species. They are omnivorous and can become a significant nuisance when foraging indoors for food.
Due to their large colony size and adaptability, Argentine ants can be challenging to control. Integrated pest management strategies, including baiting and habitat modification, are often required, typically necessitating professional assistance.
Signs of an Ant Infestation
Look out for these common signs of an ant infestation:
- Visible Ant Trails: You may notice lines of ants moving indoors or outdoors, often leading to food or nesting sites. These trails are a clear indicator of an active infestation.
- Nests: Ants build nests in various locations, such as walls, gardens, or pavement cracks. Outdoor nests often appear as small mounds of soil, while indoor nests may be hidden within walls or flooring.
- Food Contamination: Ants are drawn to sugary and greasy foods and often invade open food containers. Signs include damaged packaging, spilled crumbs, or trails leading to food sources.
If you notice these signs, contact GR Pest Control for prompt and professional ant control services in Sydney.
