Case Study: Persistent Ant Infestation in an Impian Emas Home

The Problem: Ants Everywhere Right After Moving In

A homeowner in Impian Emas, Johor Bahru, was frustrated when their new home became overrun by ants shortly after moving in. They tried natural DIY sprays, but the ants kept coming back—no matter how many times they treated the problem.

Our Inspection: A Multi-Colony Infestation

Unlike a typical ant problem, this home had at least four different groups of ant activity, each requiring a unique approach:
✅ Crazy ants in the front yard
✅ Ants entering through the backdoor from an external source
✅ Singapore ants in the living hall
✅ Ghost ants in the kitchen

This explained why DIY methods weren’t working—the infestation was coming from multiple sources.

Our Solution: Targeted Baiting, Residual Spraying & Direct Nest Treatment

To eliminate the ants at the source, we implemented a three-pronged approach:

1️⃣ Baiting – Applied species-specific ant baits to ensure the ants carried poison back to their colonies.

2️⃣ Residual Spraying – Treated outdoor areas to eliminate foraging ants on contact.

3️⃣ Direct Nest Treatment – Located and treated a crazy ant nest hidden in a flower pot outside, which was a major source of infestation.

The Results: Significant Reduction Within a Week

✅ Crazy ants, ghost ants, and outdoor ants were completely controlled
✅ Singapore ants were seen dumping dead bodies outside, a sign that the bait was working. However, the Singapore ant colony was larger than expected, requiring repeated treatment for full eradication.

Why DIY Ant Control Fails & When to Call the Experts

Many homeowners rely on DIY sprays, but these only kill the ants you see—not the colony hiding behind walls, floors, or outside the home.
