Product Queries
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Why are ants ignoring the NO Ants bait? | There are several possible reasons for ants ignoring ant bait. See here. |
| The ants have been eating the bait for more than 2 weeks but there seem to be as many ants as before. What do I do? | Follow the 1-2-3 Ant Control Programme. However, if the bait has not yet reduced numbers, continue baiting and increase the number of small amounts of bait where you are seeing ants or have seen ants for another week. |
| What do I do about ants nesting in a roof void? | You can use NO Bugs Super Fumigator/s in the affected roof void to control ant nests, but also follow the 1-2-3 Ant Control Programme |

Small amounts are not likely to cause harm but you should get advice. |
