The colony itself, along with multiple queens laying hundreds of eggs daily, remains untouched. New foragers simply take over where the old ones died.<\/p>\n            <p>Real ant control requires reaching the colony itself through either gel baits that travel back to the nest, or non-repellent sprays that spread through ant-to-ant contact.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"mpc-faq\">\n          <summary>Why does identifying the ant species matter?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"mpc-faq-body\">\n            <p>Different species have very different feeding preferences. Sugar ants ignore protein baits, protein-loving ants ignore sugar baits. Using the wrong bait wastes time and lets the infestation grow.<\/p>\n            <p>Species also determines nesting behaviour, swarm patterns, and which treatment approaches work best. A Fire Ant infestation is treated differently from a Weaver Ant invasion \u2014 even though both are &#8220;just ants&#8221;.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"mpc-faq\">\n          <summary>Are your treatments safe for my children and pets?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"mpc-faq-body\">\n            <p>Yes. We use registered, licensed insecticides applied by trained operators at correct dilutions. Gel baits are placed in cracks and hard-to-reach areas. Non-repellent sprays are safe for indoor and outdoor surfaces when properly applied.<\/p>\n            <p>For families with infants, elderly, or sensitive pets, we adjust placement and application techniques to minimise direct exposure while maintaining effectiveness.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"mpc-faq\">\n          <summary>How long until I stop seeing ants after treatment?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"mpc-faq-body\">\n            <p>You may still see ants for 1-2 weeks while the bait travels through the colony \u2014 this is actually a good sign that the treatment is working. Activity drops sharply after that, with most homes seeing near-elimination within 2-4 weeks.<\/p>\n            <p>If you&#8217;re seeing continued heavy activity at 3+ weeks, contact us \u2014 we&#8217;ll inspect and adjust the treatment.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"mpc-faq\">\n          <summary>Can you treat outdoor ant nests and gardens?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"mpc-faq-body\">\n            <p>Yes. Outdoor treatment is often essential \u2014 many ant problems indoors stem from outdoor nests that foragers travel from. We treat gardens, lawns, driveways, and perimeter areas using outdoor-safe baits and sprays.<\/p>\n            <p>For gardens in particular, we avoid boric acid (which harms soil and plants) and use targeted, localised treatment.<\/p>\n          <\/div>\n        <\/details>\n\n        <details class=\"mpc-faq\">\n          <summary>How much does ant treatment cost?<\/summary>\n          <div class=\"mpc-faq-body\">\n            <p>Ant treatment is part of our general pest control service, starting from RM 130 for residential properties.
