Understanding Auckland's Common Ant Species and Their Behaviours

Auckland, like many other urban areas, has its share of ants. While they are generally not considered a major threat to human health, they can be a nuisance, especially when they invade homes or businesses.

Argentine Ants: These are particularly invasive and can form large, aggressive colonies and are known for their ability to outcompete native species. They can be difficult to control as each nest has multiple queens, who can lay up to 60 eggs per day each—what may seem like a small issue can grow incredibly quickly.
Black House Ants: These small, black ants are common household pests, often found foraging for food and water. They often build their nests in walls, floors, or other sheltered areas.
Coastal Brown Ants: These ants are often found in coastal areas, building nests in the sand or creating small mounds or tunnels. They can be a nuisance if they invade homes or businesses.
White-footed House Ants: These are small, light-coloured ants commonly found in homes. They are attracted to food and water and can be difficult to control once they have established a colony.

Having completed hundreds of ant extermination jobs in Auckland, our technicians know where to look and understand ants' behaviour. Our ant treatment plans typically use a mix of spraying, baiting, and dusting techniques but can be tailored to your specific needs.

How to Prevent Ants from Taking Over Your Space

The first step of ant control is prevention. Here are some tips to prevent ants from invading your home or business:

Bait and Barrier Treatments

These are specialised treatments to repel and eliminate colonies in your home and garden. We can also assist with treating wall cavities and window framing to tackle those entry points.

Seal Entry Points

Caulk cracks and gaps around doors, windows, and pipes to prevent ants from entering your home.

Keep a Clean Space

Just like fly pest control, clean up food spills, crumbs, and sugary substances to avoid attracting ants. Store food in airtight containers and dispose of rubbish properly. Reduce clutter, as ants can hide in cluttered areas.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Can I get rid of ants myself?

Once ants get past a certain number, DIY ant extermination methods become very difficult. Many homes and businesses are built near or on ant nests, so regular maintenance treatments are required to keep the numbers under control.

Large ant colonies can cause serious damage, including to food supplies and electrical outlets. In these cases, a professional ant control service is often required.

Are New Zealand’s ant species harmful?

Ant species found throughout New Zealand are not considered harmful to humans. Argentine ants can be territorial and may bite if they feel threatened, but this bite is generally not dangerous.

While they don’t pose a threat to health, invasive ant species can disrupt our native ecosystems and become a significant nuisance when they invade homes and businesses.
