Ant and spider control, inside and out
A line of ants across the bench, webs all along the eaves: Richard follows the trail back to the nests and treats the house inside and out, from the roof space to the garden. The inspection and quote are free.
Richard under a house when the phone goes? Someone still picks up, and he calls you back.
Roof to subfloor
Outside: Richard walks the whole section: eaves, walls, sunny banks, sheds, compost and woodpiles, for wasp traffic, ant trails and the way rats get in.

Before you ring
What will it cost?
Ants, spiders or both, the size of the house and section, and whether the roof space or subfloor needs treating set the price. The quote is free.
Is it safe to leave the trail?
The ants you see are fed from nests outside that keep sending more, and in spring and summer they’re after food. Wiping the bench doesn’t reach the nest.
What does the visit involve?
Richard follows the trail back outside, checks the eaves, walls and window frames for webs, and quotes for inside, outside or both.

Ant trails and where they start
Ants that trail across the kitchen bench start outside. In spring and summer they’re hungry for protein and sweet food, and one scout finding the bench brings the rest.
Argentine ants are known in Nelson. Their nests cooperate in supercolonies that run under fences from section to section, they climb walls and trees, and potted plants carry them to new places. Baits set outside along the trails work better on them than a spray on the ones inside.
Richard follows the trail back outside, treats along it and around the house, and tells you if the neighbours’ side is feeding it.
Really happy we went with 3D Pest Control! Richard was lovely to deal with from start to finish — prompt in making initial contact, quick to arrange an onsite quote, and able to get us booked in with a really quick turnaround to spray all the bugs away.
Richard was knowledgeable, professional and took the time to explain everything clearly. I particularly appreciated the little touches, like confirming that payment had been received and checking in afterwards to make sure everything was going well and there weren’t any issues.
Great service, great communication, and I’d happily recommend 3D Pest Control to anyone needing pest control. Thanks Richard!
Spiders on the eaves and in the roof
Spiders build where insects come: around the eaves, window frames and outside lights, in the roof space and under the floor. Richard treats the outside of the house along the eaves, walls and window frames, and the roof space and subfloor where they’re nesting, so the webs stop coming back the next week.
Between treatments
- Wipe benches and keep sweet food and pet food sealed
- Check potted plants for ants before they come inside
- Trim plants and branches back off the walls, so trails have no bridge
- Turn off outside lights you don’t need: they draw the insects spiders feed on

Questions
Another question? Call 0800 166 028 or ask it on the form below.
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?
A spray kills the ants you see; the nest outside keeps sending more. Richard treats along the trail outside, where it reaches the nest.
Are spiders a sign of something else?
Spiders go where insects are, so a lot of webs often means a lot of insects around the lights and windows. Richard treats both the spiders and where they hunt.
Do you treat inside and outside?
Yes. Ants and spiders both live outside and come in, so Richard treats the outside of the house and the inside, and the roof space and subfloor where they nest.
