Argentine Ant Control Pretoria:

Argentine Ants are undoubtedly the most common species of Ant found here in Pretoria. Our Ant Control Pretoria teams commonly deal with colonies that span in to tens of thousand of individuals. These tiny beasties commonly invade homes as well as workplaces throughout South Africa.

• Argentine Ants are a smaller species of Ant with workers ranging in size 1.6mm to 2.8mm. They are red / brown in color with 6 legs and very small mandibles.
• Where Argentine Ants lack in size, they make up in numbers. A single Argentine Ant colony have have upwards of 500 000 workers. These are ranked in the world 100 most invasive species. Some mega colonies in the US stretch about 900 kilometers and have an estimated 1 trillion individuals.
• Argentine Ants are small and are usually found climbing through unseen cracks and crevasse. Cracks in grouting or a laps in judgement during sealing plumbing holes can lead to an Ant Infestation in no time.
• Like most Ants, Argentine Ants are omnivorous and pretty much any food wast in fair game to them. They are often even found pushing up through cracks in foundations trailing towards refuse bins as well as animal feed.

Black or Garden Ant Control Pretoria:

Garden Ants pose more of a problem than their cousins. Although they frequently attain numbers exceeding 10 000 individuals, these menaces are largely responsible for uneven paving and those ever to “tidy” heaps of sand along your wall floor junctions. These critters frequent homes that are less tidy than they should be.

• Garden Ants a a slightly larger species of Ant found here in Pretoria. Workers average in size between 3mm – 5mm long and are glossy black in color. As the generations pass and the colony matures, Garden Ant workers are known to increase in size.
• Garden Ants will only ever have one queen per colony as opposed to many other species. Queens can live up to 15 years given the right environment. Its this species of Ant that we commonly refer to as Flying Ants here in Pretoria.
• Black / Garden Ants may not have the numbers of the Argentine Ants but what they lack in numbers they make up for by the menace they cause. Black Ants are known to emit formic acid as they walk. This formic acid contaminates animal and human feed making in inedible and sometimes resulting in extensive loss.
