Ants are probably considered as the most annoying and unsightly common household pest , which is why Ant Control Treatments are essential. There are over 3000 species of ants in Australia some of which bite and others that are just a plain old nuisance. They tend to trail along skirting boards, bench tops, floor corners, windows, balconies, footpaths, driveways, letterboxes and anywhere there is an easily accessible food source.
