Common Types of Ants in Melbourne
Before you can effectively get rid of ants, it’s important to understand the types you’re dealing with. Here are the most common ant species in Melbourne:
1. Black House Ants (Ochetellus spp.)
These small black ants are often found inside kitchens and bathrooms, attracted to sweet food and moisture. They’re known for forming long trails and can be hard to eliminate without professional treatment.
2. Argentine Ants (Linepithema humile)
Highly invasive and aggressive, Argentine ants can take over large areas and displace native ant species. They form large colonies and are difficult to control with store-bought products.
3. Coastal Brown Ants (Pheidole megacephala)
These ants are commonly found nesting in lawns, under pavers, and inside walls. They can cause structural damage and are persistent invaders.
4. Bull Ants (Myrmecia spp.)
Large, aggressive, and with a painful sting, bull ants are commonly found in gardens and bushy areas around homes in suburbs like Doreen and Melton. They pose a risk to children and pets.
5. Green Head Ants (Rhytidoponera metallica)
These metallic green ants are often found outdoors and can sting when disturbed. They are common in Melbourne’s western suburbs including Tarneit and Truganina.
How to Get Rid of Ants in Melbourne: Proven Methods
Wondering how to get rid of ants in your home or business in Melbourne? Here are some proven methods from our expert team:
1. Identify the Source of the Infestation
Ants leave scent trails for others to follow. Track their path back to the nest or entry point to understand where they’re coming from.
2. Eliminate Food and Water Sources
Keep your home clean. Wipe down benches, store food in airtight containers, and fix leaking taps. Even a few crumbs can attract a colony.
3. Use Ant Baits—But With Caution
DIY ant baits can help reduce minor infestations, but misuse may cause the colony to split and spread. It’s best to consult a professional for lasting results.
4. Seal Entry Points
Seal cracks in walls, around windows, and doors. This helps to stop ants from entering your home in the first place.
5. Call Professional Ant Control Experts
