Black Ants

These insects have developed a caste system where individuals are responsible for specialised duties within the community. There are workers (sterile females); fertile males; and queens (fertile females). Workers build and extend the nest, look after larval forms and forage for food. The Queens remain almost exclusively in the nest. An active insect, black ants nest outdoors, in ceilings and under paving. Foraging worker ants cause a nuisance indoors as they travel widely in search of food, following well defined trails and clustering around the food source. Sweet foods are preferred. They are not only an unpleasant sight but can damage food used for human consumption. Black ants can, however, be beneficial as predators of other insects.

Murray’s Ant Management Program

Ants are fussy feeders. Different ants like different foods – preferring either fats & oils, proteins or sugars. There’s never been a product specifically designed to target each of these feeders. Until now.

Murray Pest Control is pleased to offer our new Ant Management Program, based on the use of the new MAXFORCE range of ant baits.

It’s the first product specifically designed to target ants – & the first to offer different baits for different ant species according to the foods they prefer.

While no pest professional could ever promise to eliminate ants, our trials have proved these new MAXFORCE products to be extremely effective in dramatically reducing ant numbers.

We can confidently say this is the best ant treatment we have ever used.

To ensure maximum reduction in ant numbers, Murray’s Ant Management Program involves 3 services, each 2 weeks apart. At the completion of the program, a 3 month warranty for the interior of the home applies, where we will retreat any inside reinfestation at no charge.

Please call Murray’s for more information and a quotation for treatment.
Because in your home the only good ant…is a dead ant.

By the way, if you’re considering implementing our professional ant program, please DO NOT disturb the ants by using domestic inspect spray or products as this could reduce the effectiveness of our treatment.
