Our Treatment Approach for Ants
PROSHIELD’s Integrated Pest Management (IPM) Framework
Our tailored yet holistic approach combines advanced pest control solutions with the principles of Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to deliver effective, long-term results. By focusing on inspection, exclusion, restriction, destruction, and monitoring, PROSHIELD’s IPM framework ensures our clients stay one step ahead of pest and hygiene threats. Whether it’s eliminating existing infestations or preventing future ones, our strategies prioritise safety and peace of mind for every client.
Identification
Correctly identify the ant species present, assess infestation size, and locate nests and foraging trails—both indoors and outdoors.
Exclusion
Seal cracks, crevices, and utility openings to prevent re-entry. Apply physical barriers where possible.
Restriction
Maintain strict hygiene by eliminating crumbs, pet food, standing water, and any attractants. Store food in sealed containers.
Destruction
Use targeted baiting and gel applications specific to the ant species, prioritising municipality-approved, low-toxicity treatments.
Monitoring
Regularly inspect for new trails or activity, and adapt treatment methods based on the ant population’s response.

Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to common ant infestation queries
How can Ants cause harm?
Besides bites and stings, some ants species, like Carpenter ants, can cause structural damage to wood. They excavate wood to create nests, leading to compromised structural integrity in buildings. Ants can also disrupt landscaping and gardens by nesting in soil, which can affect plants and other vegetation.
How do you treat Ant infestations?
The first step is always to identify the root cause of the ants infestation and the nest. Our experts then close/seal any entry points. In addition to that, we use insecticides to eliminate the source directly. Besides that, we use an insecticide in powder form, which creates a form of barricade between the ants’ nest and your premise.
Can Ants damage property?
Absolutely. Carpenter ants excavate wood to create nests, leading to compromised structural integrity in buildings. Ants can also disrupt landscaping and gardens by nesting in soil, which can affect plants and other vegetation.
Are Ant treatments eco-sensitive?
Yes, we have an environment-sensitive option, which means that we apply products only where they are really necessary, and we use only the highest quality products from Europe and the USA, which are fully approved by the Municipality.
What are the different types and common species of ants found in the UAE?
Several ant species are commonly found across the UAE, each with distinct behaviours and habitats:
-
Fire ants (Solenopsis spp.): Known for their aggressive nature and painful stings, fire ants are an invasive species often found in gardens, parks, and urban areas.
-
Carpenter ants (Camponotus spp.): These ants nest in wood and are typically found in decaying trees or wooden structures. Indoors, they can become a nuisance when infesting damp or damaged timber.
-
Sugar ants (Camponotus consobrinus): Attracted to sweet substances, these ants are frequently spotted in kitchens, gardens, and areas near food sources.
-
Pavement ants (Tetramorium caespitum): Small and dark brown to black in colour, pavement ants often build nests in cracks of pavements, walls, or near building foundations.
-
Leafcutter ants (Atta spp.): Though less common in the UAE, certain species have been reported. These ants are known for cutting leaves to cultivate fungus, which they use as a food source.
How do I prevent Ants from returning?
Maintaining a clean environment and sealing entry points are key. PROSHIELD provides tips and services to ensure long-term prevention.
Are your treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes, our eco-sensitive products are safe for homes and businesses.
How soon can I see results after the treatment?
Many clients see immediate results, but it may take up to a week for complete elimination, depending on the degree of ant infestation.
