Ants in the kitchen, spiders under the eaves
Ant trails along the bench, webs round the windows and under the eaves. Stu follows the ants back to their nests and treats them there, and sprays the places spiders shelter, inside and out. Free quotes.
If Stu’s up a ladder or under a floor, the phone is still answered and he returns your call.

What happens next
Before you ring
What changes the cost?
Which ant it is, how far the colony runs round the house and garden, and whether spiders are on the list too. Quotes are free.
Can it wait?
Darwin’s ants come inside in big numbers for sweet food and build up quickly in a garden. The nests are what keep the trail coming.
What happens on the visit?
Stu follows the trail from the bench out to the nests and treats them, then sprays the eaves, window frames and corners where spiders shelter.

Argentine ants on sandy ground
Argentine ants are small, 2 to 3 mm and honey-brown, and they march in steady trails, often up trees and shrubs. They favour sandy coastal soils, and they get into houses, cupboards, sealed jars, power points, walls and beds. Around the Mount and Pāpāmoa, that sandy ground is under a lot of homes.
Their nests link up into colonies that can stretch hundreds of metres, and a colony that’s under-treated can split and get harder to control. That’s why Stu follows the trail outside to the nests instead of spraying the line on your bench.
They’re newcomers: first found in New Zealand in 1990, and now known in many parts of the Bay of Plenty. They bite, too, which is often what gets them noticed.
Darwin’s ant, the port-town ant
Darwin’s ant came from Australia and in New Zealand is tied to towns and cities with ports. It comes inside in big numbers looking for sweet food, builds up quickly in town gardens and gives off a strong smell when crushed. If the trail in your pantry smells when you wipe it, tell Stu.
Spiders, inside and out
Spiders shelter where it’s dry and still: under the eaves, round window frames, in the garage, under the deck and behind outdoor furniture. White-tailed spiders come inside. Stu sprays the eaves, walls, corners and outdoor living areas, inside and out, so they’ve nowhere comfortable left.
Spiders follow the insects they eat, so a deck light that draws moths, or flies round the windows, keeps them coming. Treating the ants, flies and spiders on the one visit keeps the whole house quiet.
Great experience from start to finish! From the first communication, to the friendly service, and the final result, all was seamless.
Thanks we'll be back :)

The service is amazing, I can see all dead bugs in my garden, Matt is really easy to communicate, always ring us before arrive, I highly recommend to use professional pest control, I will have a settle summer this year, supper happy!

Owen is great and will always make sure to cover stuff that aint covered inside the house. He even lock our cat door so kitty cant come inside afterwards. Thanks!! Will be using again nxt year
Questions
Another question? Call 0800 164 102, or put it on the quote form and Stu will answer it.
Why do the ants come back after I spray?
Spray kills the workers on the trail, not the nest. Argentine ant colonies link up and can split when they’re under-treated, so Stu goes to the nests.
How do I tell Argentine ants?
Small, 2 to 3 mm and honey-brown, in steady trails that often run up trees and shrubs. Stu confirms it before he treats.
Do you spray for spiders outside too?
Yes. The eaves, walls, window frames, garage and outdoor living areas, as well as inside.
