When an ant infestation occurs inside our homes, problems immediately begin as they are difficult to eradicate. This is due to the ability of the ants to create nests very quickly in the vicinity of the first.
Furthermore, when an effective disinfestation is not carried out and the causes are not eliminated, the ant infestation recurs frequently and even after years. In some cases, ant traps or other chemical or natural products are used, but their use almost never produces a definitive result especially if the infestation is linked to the presence of various colonies.
When we find ourselves in these cases, the best solution is undoubtedly to contact companies in the sector, specialized in pest control, which, thanks to the experience acquired, and the availability of adequately trained personnel, can implement a methodology that solves the problem also using suitable materials. The search for food is the cause of the arrival of ants inside the houses; in fact, they are attracted by smells even from a great distance and they all travel the same road thus giving life to endless columns, which see them busy taking food and then bringing it inside the colony for the nourishment of the larvae.
Generally, ant pest control costs vary according to the intervention and range from a minimum of 50 AUD, for small treatments, to a maximum of 200/300 AUD, for interventions in larger areas. In several cases, in fact, it is necessary to intervene in elevated or difficult to reach places, in these cases the complications of the intervention can affect the final cost. Furthermore, to obtain an effective service it may be necessary to propose repeated treatments.
ANTS DISINFESTATION COSTS
The price of this service varies based on a series of factors, among which the most important is undoubtedly the degree of extension of the infestation, but also the difficulties that the company in charge can find to reach the place of the call, the size of the house to be disinfected, and ultimately also the geographical position. Surely the cost of a disinfestation in cities like Milan, Catania or Rome is different.
Another variable that has an effect on the cost is the type of pests which is directly linked to the choice of products to be used for pest control and the type of treatment, with chemical ones that have lower prices, for example, to a thermal and ecological treatment. The place where the infestation occurred is also important for the purpose of calculating the price, as the environment of a bathroom is certainly easier to disinfect than an attic or a cellar where various different materials may be stacked. between them.

In this way, humans and pets could contract diseases. The presence of ants in the house also causes an obvious nuisance for the inhabitants and produces a lack from the point of view of hygiene, so you must be very careful to avoid their entry into the house or provide for their elimination quickly, acting both on adult specimens than on the colony.
