Our scientific approach

How AIPS delivers ant treatment

Inspection first, chemistry second. Every step is documented so nothing is left to guesswork.

  1. 01

    Inspection & assessment

    Trail tracing to locate nest entry

  2. 02

    Targeted treatment

    Slow-acting bait so workers feed the colony

  3. 03

    Follow-up & prevention

    Perimeter residual for outdoor re-entry

The science behind the treatment

Biology and Management of Ants

Ants are highly organised social insects living in colonies that can range from a few dozen to many thousands of individuals. While most household ant species are more nuisance than hazard, carpenter ants can cause genuine structural damage, and any colony left untreated will keep sending new foraging trails back into the kitchen.

Kingdom: AnimaliaPhylum: ArthropodaClass: InsectaOrder: HymenopteraFamily: Formicidae

Life cycle

Egg to adult

6–10 weeks, depending on species and temperature

Queen lifespan

Several years

Mature colony size

A few hundred to several thousand workers

Signs of infestation

  • Visible foraging trails to a food or water source
  • Small piles of soil or wood shavings near baseboards (carpenter ants)
  • Winged reproductive swarmers indoors, usually before monsoon
  • Nests found under slabs, paving or inside wall voids

Integrated management approach

Inspection

  • Trace foraging trails back to entry points and, where possible, the nest
  • Check moisture-damaged wood for carpenter ant galleries
  • Inspect the garden perimeter for outdoor nests

Preventive measures

  • Seal cracks and gaps at entry points
  • Fix moisture issues — carpenter ants strongly prefer damp wood
  • Store food, including pet food, in sealed containers
  • Trim vegetation touching the building

Monitoring

  • Bait stations along known trails
  • Ongoing visual trail monitoring

Chemical control

  • Slow-acting gel or granular bait (fipronil, indoxacarb or borax-based) carried back to eliminate the queen and colony
  • Perimeter residual spray to prevent outdoor re-entry
  • Dust formulations injected into wall voids for carpenter ant galleries

Ants are colony insects — spraying the visible trail only kills the foragers you can see, while the queen keeps producing more. Slow-acting bait that workers carry back to the nest is what actually collapses the colony, and is why our protocol favours baiting over surface spraying wherever possible.
