COASTAL BROWN ANT The Coastal Brown Ant is common around Auckland in businesses and homes. Also known as the "big headed Ant",
you can tell it apart from other brown Ants as it has two sizes of Ant. The larger size is the "solider" Ant that protects the worker Ants.
The smaller Ants are the worker Ants. The Coastal Brown Ant prefers a sandy enviroment, and is often found near beach areas BUT but is also found
in built up areas around Auckland city. The Coastal Brown Ant prefers to nest outside and nests are often seen around the sides of buildings in cracks
leading into the ground. In sandy areas they create sand mounds at the top of their nests. They come inside for food and water. They are slow
moving compared to other Ants and people report that once they have put some food down suddenly these Ant come from "nowhere" onto their food.
In these cases it is more than likely the Ants are there unseen all the time, and become noticable when they find your food. Coastal Brown Ants will
be noticable in Kitchens, toilets and bathrooms. Coastal Brown Ants dont usually bite or sting, but make a pest by ruining your food.
TREATMENT OF COASTAL BROWN ANT The Coastal Brown Ant can be treated successfully. An initial inspection is vital to find nests, and
Ant trails. Destruction of the Nests is quickly achieved using the appropriate chemicals. The business or house is then treated with a standard
Ant treatment to prevent the Ants coming back into the building.
