LEARN ABOUT PESTS / GUIDES
Ants may enter homes in search of food and water. Start by following trails and entry points, clearing spillages and storing food in closed containers. If a product is needed, choose a surface treatment targeting ants; insect repellents in this portfolio are not suitable ant products.

Ants indoors are not in themselves a sign of disease. Access to open food and preparation surfaces is undesirable for hygiene; keep food covered and clean contact areas. Some species bite or sting, so do not handle an unidentified ant with bare hands. Managing food, water and entry points is the main aim.
Workers seeking food and water for the colony may reach crumbs, uncovered food and moisture indoors. Cracks, service penetrations and gaps around doors and windows can provide entry. Seeing ants alone does not establish how clean a home is.
Workers can share routes to food using chemical trails. This is why several ants may follow the same path. Following the trail can reveal an entry point and attractant; remove the food source as well as cleaning the surface.
The ants you see are only part of the colony. More workers may arrive if the food source and entry route remain. Regular monitoring, covering food and reducing access form a plan that goes beyond treating visible individuals.
First identify food, water and entry points. If insecticidal surface treatment is needed, use an ant-targeted product only in authorised areas. Do not treat food preparation surfaces or belongings that people directly contact as general application areas.
Clean up crumbs and spillages; store food in closed containers.
Repair water leaks and address sources of moisture.
Follow ant trails and suitably seal entry gaps.
Keep monitoring. If needed, choose a surface product targeting ants and competent pest-control support.
Check that the label explicitly lists ants. A general reference to “pests” does not establish suitability for this target.
For this target, choose only surfaces permitted by the label. Do not treat people, animals, food or textiles that directly contact the skin as application areas.
Compare the target-specific application method and any stated duration. Do not transfer instructions between products or assume unverified durations.
Especially when buying online, check the biocidal authorisation number and date, active ingredient and instructions on the back label.
Choose an ant solution according to the target and application area.
