Ant Control in Auckland

Ant control in Auckland often means Argentine ants. They were first recorded in New Zealand in Auckland in 1990. Workers are light brown, about 2 to 3 mm long, and travel in long, defined trails, and colonies have many queens. Auckland Council's Regional Pest Management Plan lists Argentine ants for sustained control across the whole region.

They nest under wood, stones, leaf piles and in potted plants, and people move them much further than they travel alone, in plants, soil and goods. Ask a company how it finds the nests, whether it treats outside the house as well as inside, and what it does if the ants come back. Check whether it states a guarantee.
