Professional Ant Control from the 5th Element in Johannesburg

A few ants on the kitchen counter can quickly turn into a steady trail into your cupboards, pet bowls and walls. Spraying the trail only kills the workers you can see, while the colony keeps producing more. 5th Element provides licensed ant control across Johannesburg, Sandton, Midrand, Randburg, Rosebank, Bryanston, Fourways, Melville, Alberton and surrounding areas for homes, offices, restaurants and warehouses. Every treatment comes with a follow-up guarantee.

Why Ants Keep Coming Back

Ants leave scent trails that lead the rest of the colony to food and water. Wiping or spraying a trail removes the ants in front of you, but the nest, often outside, in walls or under paving, is untouched. Ant activity also picks up in the warm, wet months, which we cover in our guide to summer pest control in Johannesburg.

Our Ant Treatment Process

Inspection. We follow the trails to find where the ants are nesting and how they are getting in.
Targeted treatment. We treat the colony at the source with industry-approved products, including baits that worker ants carry back to the nest.
Prevention. We advise on sealing entry points and removing the food and water that attract them.
Follow-up. Every treatment comes with a follow-up guarantee.

Ants in Homes, Kitchens and Businesses

Ants are a common problem in kitchens, bathrooms, restaurants and food stores, where they can contaminate food and packaging. Our pest control service covers ants as well as cockroaches, rats, mice and termites, so one visit can deal with more than one pest.

Ant Extermination Questions We Get Asked

Why do I suddenly have ants in summer?

Warm weather and rain make colonies more active, and storms can flood outdoor nests, pushing ants indoors looking for food and dry shelter.

Are your treatments safe for pets and children?

We use industry-approved products and will explain how to prepare and where to keep pets and children during treatment.

How long does ant treatment take to work?

Baits need time to be carried back to the nest, so you may still see some ants for a few days before activity drops.
