Ant Control
Ant Control in Singapore
You’ve undoubtedly seen ants crawling around on your property because ant infestations are one of the most common pest concerns found in homes and businesses. Kitchens, bathrooms and panties are common places with sightings of ants due to the presence of food and moisture.
Besides causing painful bites, ants carry bacteria and pose risks of contamination to our food. Therefore, it is important to get rid of ants on your property. However, it is extremely difficult to get rid of ants as they love to build their nests in hard-to-reach areas such as cracks and crevices in the walls. This explains why you might have exhausted over-the-counter and DIY solutions to remove ants only to find them on your property again. This is because eliminating physical ants you see does not necessary destroy their colony.
Discuss an effective ant pest control solution with the ant experts at Bingo Pest and learn how you can keep ants away from your home or business property completely.
The Life Cycle of Ants
The ant pest undergoes a complete metamorphosis. They go through 4 distinct stages:
– Egg
