Why Ants Keep Coming Back

DIY sprays often kill surface ants but leave nests untouched.

Ant infestations are common in Port Macquarie homes because ants are constantly searching for food, water, and shelter, especially in warm coastal conditions.

Even after surface treatments, ants can keep returning if nests, entry points, or food sources aren’t properly addressed. Cracks in walls, moisture around kitchens and bathrooms, and easily accessible food can attract ants back inside. Professional ant control in Port Macquarie targets both visible ants and hidden nests, helping prevent repeat infestations and providing longer-lasting results.

Effective ant control requires more than spraying visible ants, as this often fails to eliminate the nest and allows the problem to return. We locate nesting sites and apply treatments designed to eliminate the entire colony. This approach provides longer-lasting results and helps prevent repeat infestations.


Fumatex Pest Control use professional ant control targeted treatments
such as ant gel baits and ant cafés that worker ants carry back to the colony, helping eliminate the source of the infestation. By identifying entry points, nesting areas, and food sources, long-term ant control helps stop ants from coming back and keeps homes protected in coastal conditions.
