Gel bait, residual spray, and nest treatment — a targeted approach that kills the queen and colony, not just the ants you can see. 90-day guarantee.
Ant infestations in Karachi are not one-size-fits-all problems. The species determines where the nest is located, what treatment approach works, and how urgently the problem needs to be addressed.
The most common indoor ant in Karachi kitchens. Small, black or dark brown, and attracted to sugary and greasy foods. Nest in wall voids, behind skirting boards, under kitchen cabinets, and in garden soil near the building. Follow pheromone trails across countertops, into cupboards, and through electrical conduits.
Aggressive and venomous. Build soil mounds in gardens, lawns, and planters. Sting — not just bite — when disturbed, producing painful burning welts. Particular hazard for children playing in gardens and for pets. Fire ant colonies can number in the hundreds of thousands and require direct nest treatment rather than surface spray.
Tiny, pale yellow ants that nest deep inside buildings — inside wall insulation, behind electrical sockets, and in cavity floors. Particularly problematic in apartment buildings because they migrate between units through wiring and pipe channels. Pharaoh ants are notoriously difficult to control with spray alone — they practise colony budding, fragmenting into new sub-colonies when threatened.
Large, black ants (6–12mm) that excavate galleries inside damp or softened wood — window and door frames, roof timbers, wooden furniture legs. Do not eat wood but remove it as shavings (frass). A carpenter ant presence near wooden fixtures warrants a structural assessment to check for moisture damage alongside the ant treatment.
Cheonti ka khatma — ant control — must target the colony, not just the trail. The workers you see foraging represent only 10–15% of the total colony. Killing them without reaching the queen and brood prolongs the infestation by weeks.
Ants communicate via pheromone trails — invisible chemical signals that guide the colony to food sources and back to the nest. Standard DIY approaches fail for predictable reasons:
Professional ant control uses gel bait — a slow-acting, food-mimicking substance that foragers carry back to the colony and share with the queen and larvae. This trophallaxis (food-sharing) process is what spreads the active ingredient through the entire colony, including individuals the spray could never reach.
Our protocol is adapted to the species and infestation pattern identified during the technician's inspection:
Technician traces active foraging trails to identify nest entry points and probable colony location — inside walls, under floors, in the garden, or in structural cavities. Species identification informs whether gel bait alone or a combined gel + nest drench is required.
Slow-acting gel bait placed in small dots directly on active foraging trails, near nest entry cracks, and under appliances. Foragers carry the bait back as food, feeding the queen and brood. Colony population declines over 7–14 days as the bait works through the hierarchy.
Odourless residual insecticide applied to identified entry points (wall-floor junctions, pipe entry points, window sills, door frames), creating a treated barrier that kills crossing ants for weeks. Applied after bait placement to avoid repelling ants away from the bait.
For fire ant mounds and soil colonies in gardens or planters, direct nest drench treatment is applied — a liquid insecticide poured into and around the mound to penetrate the full colony depth. Significantly more effective than surface granules for established mounds.

PPCP-certified technician traces active trails, identifies species, maps nest location, then applies gel bait and residual spray in the correct sequence. Garden nests treated with direct nest drench where required. Treatment time: 1–2 hours.
Technician advises on bait placement care (don't clean it away for 2 weeks), hygiene steps that support treatment effectiveness, and structural points to seal. Written post-treatment notes provided.
