ANTS
Hong Kong ant control: trace entry routes and place the right bait
Ant treatment starts at HK$980, including one visit, gel bait and a 30-day warranty. The confirmed price depends on the affected area and work required. An on-site inspection is HK$350, fully credited when you book treatment.
An ant trail shows where workers forage, not necessarily where the nest is. We inspect entry points, likely nest locations and food sources, then choose bait for the ants present. Gaps, cleaning and food storage are addressed alongside treatment; wall voids, skirting and planters may all need checking.
Common signs
- A steady trail across the kitchen counter or around the sink that keeps coming back no matter how often you wipe it
- Sweet food or pet kibble drawing ants within minutes of being left out
- Ants moving in and out through gaps in window frames or skirting boards
- Noticeably more activity around planters and balcony pots
How we handle it
Targeted baiting
Place appropriate bait near activity so workers can feed and carry it towards the colony. Avoid spraying near bait during treatment, as this can interfere with feeding.
Entry and housekeeping advice
Identify gaps needing attention and explain food storage and cleaning measures. Any proofing work is specified in the quote.
Warranty follow-up
Bait takes time to act. Free follow-up applies if the same pest reappears within the 30-day warranty.

Frequently asked questions
Why do the ants come back a few days after I spray?
Spray may reach foraging workers without reaching activity in the nest, and trails can move. Inspect entry routes and feeding sites before choosing bait or another method, rather than simply applying more spray.
Can I just buy ant bait myself?
Follow the product label and match the bait and placement to the activity you see. Avoid spraying nearby. If there is no improvement after two or three weeks, reassess entry routes and possible nest sites, or seek a professional inspection.
Do household ants need treatment?
It depends on the species, activity and location. Repeated trails near food warrant checking entry points and conditions. Photos can help with initial identification; seek medical advice for symptoms after a bite.
