We have ants all over the place around our house not to mention signs of wood borer and a bunch of other pests.
I see plenty of adds for various companies but i'm guessing half of them are useless.
Are there any companies you would recommend or have had good or bad experiences with?

I do mine myself,
Buy the concentrate off rural supply companies like elders, CRT etc and mix it up make sure you use a respirator, gloves suit etc and go to town on your place.

I take power points off walls periodically and spray inside the walls, its amazing what gets in there, under the house and in the roof.

If your going to get a trade out every area can be different some good some crap just do your research.

Why not just tell him here? Is it a secret? Lol


If you Google how to get rid of ants, you'll find some great home remedies that will actually work.

just buy a v8 lol
Befenthrin does the trick for most species of ants, trouble is you have to go and find their nest. Most people don't have the time or the basic safe handling knowledge though so if you are after someone to do it for you look at some of the larger companies that have been in operation for more than ten years. Flick comes to mind.

Don't use pesticides. So many home remedies online that claim to work, I dont know why you wouldnt try them?
