Back in February we talk about the ant call that were coming into the helpdesk here in the office and how it was very early for this to happen, well there has been no sign of the ants going away. The calls are still coming, this is going to be a busy year for ants so be ready.

At the first sign of ants in your home give us a call and if we can help you over the phone with some advice we will, if not we have many different ways to deal with ants.

Use caulk …. Seal windows, doors and any cracks you can find, Ants are tiny and they can find their way into your home using the smallest of holes. Most common is gaps around the back sliding doors.

Here comes the ants, hopefully a good summer will follow.

Wasps & Ants in Kildare

They have started, the wasps are back and this time they are not alone. It’s that time of the year again that the wasps will be harassing us every time we try and enjoy our gardens ( in between showers ). This year we have had a huge increase in the number of calls about Ants, They are not only in people’s garden but they are also invading people houses.

Ants can cause a real problem once they a have entered your home, they will get everywhere is their pursuit to find food. Putting ant power down can help and kill a few but you really need to find the nest to solve the problem.

If you require advice on what to do our if you require our help in dealing with the problem just give us a call.

With regard to the wasps you should really not try and deal with the problem yourself as wasps can be very aggressive in defending their nest.

Ant Problems

When people ring the office about ants it’s normally ants in the kitchen, here they have access to food, water and heat, all the things a growing ant needs. Ants are attracted by sweet and sticky food (Soft Drinks, Jam, etc) anything with sugar. If you have Ants or don’t want to attract them you should clear away food and liquid spillages when they happen. Make sure bins are sealed, pull out things like the fridge, washing machine and clean any food debris from under the appliances.

Don’t make life easy for them, have a look around the outside of your home looking for cracks and crevices were Ants could gain access.
