Practical advice on how to get rid of ants
Ants are incredibly capable and intelligent creatures. Though harmless, they can be a nuisance when they get into your home or premises. Their complex and cooperative societies allow them to survive and thrive in conditions that would be otherwise challenging to us. Here are some interesting facts that you may want to know about this small but amazing pest.
- The total weight of all the ants in the world is the same, if not larger than all humans added together.
- Ants are capable of carrying objects 50 times their own body weight with their mandibles.
- Ants communicate and cooperate by using pheromones that can alert others to danger or lead them to a promising food source.
- Foraging worker ants can travel up to 200 metres from their nest and find their way back to the colony by following scent trails left by others.
- Ants evolved from wasp-like ancestors in the dinosaur period between 110 and 130 million years ago. Ants can survive underwater for 24 hours.
- Ants belong to the insect order Hymenoptera. They are close relatives of bees and wasps.
- Each colony can hold up to half a million ants. They can all get up and go very quickly if the colony is threatened.
- Worker ants can live for up to 7 years, while a queen can live for up to 15 years.

Rentokil Initial's bed bug control solutions
Whether they’re in your home or hotel, bed bugs are an unwanted (and terrifying) guest. All ‘beds’ are at risk, especially those accomodation places with a large number of international travellers, or if you’re a frequent traveller yourself.
Bed bug control is very challenging, and unlike treatment for other pest, because of its genetic resistance to pesticides. At Rentokil Initial, we designed the 10-Days Bed Bug Programme that could remove an infestation effectively. However, we urge you to do proactive check as early detection combined with our IPM approach helps to deter them from spreading to other parts of your building.
Call Rentokil Initial today on 400 820 8770 or contact us online for a consultation.
The warm kitchen environment in restaurants provides cockroaches with an abundant supply of food and water, making it an ideal breeding ground for them.
Food shelves and deli kitchens in supermarkets require special attention to cockroach control to prevent them from coming into contact with customers.
Cockroaches are the “number one enemy” of the food processing industry; a single sighting can result in the entire batch of products being scrapped, a suspension of operations for rectification, or even the collapse of a brand’s reputation.
