Get rid of ants and termites in one visit
A line of ants heading for the sugar bowl means the nest is still active somewhere else. If a door frame has started to sound hollow, you may be dealing with termites. A technician reaches you the same day, tells the two apart and treats them with no odor and no need to leave your home.

Regular ants or termites?
In Egypt termites are called "white ants," but the two share little beyond that name. Ants are after your food, and termites eat the wood of your home. Knock on the door frame with the back of your hand and look along the bottom of the wall, which is the first thing the technician does.
-
A trail heading for anything sweet
An ant leaves a scent line behind it, and the others follow it exactly. If the trail starts at a gap between the ceramic tiles, that gap is the way to the nest.
-
Fine dust at the cracks
A small pile like sand next to the baseboard or a tile joint. It comes from ants digging, and many people sweep it up every day without asking where it comes from.
-
Mud tunnels on the wall
A thin line of mud as wide as a pencil, climbing from the floor. This is the sign of termites. If you notice it getting longer from one day to the next, the activity is ongoing, so leave it as it is until the inspection.
-
Wood that sounds hollow
Termites eat wood from the inside and leave a thin shell, so the paint stays intact. A door frame can look fine until a screwdriver sinks into it.
-
Wings left by the window
A few transparent wings of equal length on the windowsill or under a light. They fall from flying termites after they come out to mate, and at that point the inspection shouldn't wait.

Send the photo on WhatsAppWhere do they build their nests?
The ants walking in front of you are less than 10% of the colony. The rest are with the queen in the ground or behind the wall, and that's where the treatment has to reach.
- Cracks in floor and ceramic tiles
- Old grout lines open up and let a whole trail pass under the kitchen floor.
- Door and window frames
- There's a gap between the wood and the wall, and it's the first place termites reach on a ground floor.
- Parquet and built-in wardrobes
- Wood fitted against a damp wall gets eaten from the back, so you see nothing from the front.
- Gardens and planters
- A pot sitting on the ground becomes a ready-made nest, and tree roots connect the soil to the foundation of the house.
- Wood that touches the soil
- The thresholds of rural houses and old ceiling beams become a direct route for termites.
- Behind the sink and bathroom pipes
- Ants need water as much as food, so any drip draws them in even when the sugar is shut away.
-
Wood weakens out of sight
Termite damage builds up where you can't see it, and doors and built-in wardrobes are usually hit first. If an infestation reaches a beam holding up a ceiling, have an engineer look at it too, not only us.
-
Exposed food
Ants may walk over scraps in the trash bin and then get into the sugar jar. It's better not to give a child food that ants have gotten into, and containers of sweets should be airtight.
-
Bites in children
Some species bite and cause itching and mild pain. If someone has swelling in the face or trouble breathing after a bite, go to the emergency room immediately.
From the technician's notebook: Ants usually come back because someone wiped the bait line with bleach the same day. Leave it for 48 hours and you'll see the difference.
Why do ants come back after these home remedies?
Most remedies work on the trail in front of you while the queen stays where she is. Here's what we hear in homes and the truth behind each one.
- Vinegar and lemon finish off ants
- They wipe out the scent line, so the trail gets confused for an hour or two. The nest isn't touched, and other workers come out and lay a new line beside the one you wiped.
- Ant chalk is safe because it's chalk
- It's an insecticide in the shape of chalk, and most of what's sold has unknown contents. A child can put it in his mouth like school chalk, and its effect stops at the line you drew.
- Cinnamon and cumin keep ants out
- They may make ants take a different route for a while. Nothing in them reaches the colony, and ants find a way around cumin within two days.
- Spraying the trail solves the problem
- It kills the ones in front of you, and the queen replaces them. Some small species split up when threatened, so one nest turns into several around the apartment.
- Termites are just pale ants
- They're closer to cockroaches than to ants. They eat wood, not sugar, so sweet bait and surface spraying have nothing to do with treating them.
- I'll replace the door and be done with it
- If the colony is still active, the new wood will get eaten too. The right order is treatment first, then replacing the damaged part.
- Diesel in the hole kills termites
- It contaminates the soil, can catch fire next to any wood, and only travels a short way into a tunnel network that can be very long.
Treating ants is different from termite treatment
Spray regular ants the wrong way and they run off and build a new nest. Offer termites a sweet bait and they won't go near it. That's why identifying the type is the first step.
- 1
Identifying the type and following the trail
We follow the trail to the crack and see whether the ants are after sweets or grease. We also tap the wood and check the lower walls for mud tunnels.
- 2
Slow-acting gel bait
It's slow on purpose, so the worker has time to carry it to the nest and feed it to the queen and the young before it affects her.
- 3
Injecting the cracks
We inject the joints and openings the ants come out of, away from the bait lines so they don't avoid the bait.
- 4
For termites: injecting soil and wood
We inject a dedicated insecticide into the infested wood and the soil at the entry points. On ground floors and in villas we work on the soil, and in upper-floor apartments the focus is on the wood itself and the openings.
- 5
The warranty certificate
The technician writes down the type of pest, the treatment date and the 5-year warranty, and tells you if any wood needs a carpenter.
Why is one visit enough?
With regular ants, the workers carry the slow-acting bait into the nest themselves, so the technician doesn't have to reach the queen for the treatment to reach her. With termites, we inject the infested wood and the soil at the entry points during the same visit. After the inspection the technician tells you honestly how far the infestation goes, because the colony can be some distance from what you can see. If new activity appears during the warranty period, it's treated at no cost.
How to prepare before the technician arrives
- Leave the trail as it is on the day of the appointment, with no wiping or spraying, so the technician can see where it goes.
- If you suspect termites, don't break the mud tunnels or take the wood apart. Those tunnels are what lead us to the nest.
- Close up sugar, honey and jam in airtight containers, so the bait is the nearest food for the ants.
- After the technician leaves, leave the bait line alone for 48 hours and keep bleach and disinfectant away from that spot.
- Clear the space around built-in wardrobes and any doors you suspect, and tell the technician if you have a fish tank or pets.
Your family comes first
The right product, at the right strength, in the right place is not the danger. The real danger is random spraying, kerosene and home-made mixtures.
-
Children and pregnancy
They can stay at home during treatment. If someone is pregnant or has a chest allergy, we choose a gentler product and method.
-
Cats, dogs and birds
We put away their food and water before treatment and stay clear of where they sleep. Fish tanks are covered and the air pump is switched off.
-
No odor
Every treatment is odor-free, and you do not need to leave home while we work.

Hello, I have a problem with ants in an apartment in Nasr City. I'd like to book.
Questions we hear every day
Can ants be eliminated in one visit?
Yes, treatment for regular ants is finished in one visit. The slow-acting bait keeps working inside the nest after the technician leaves, but you need to keep bleach away from it for 48 hours.
Is termite control also done in one visit?
Yes, injecting the infested wood and the soil at the entry points is done in the same visit, and the technician determines how far the infestation goes after the inspection. If new activity appears during the warranty period, it's treated at no cost.
Do I have to leave home during ant control?
No, you can stay in your home as usual. The treatment uses bait and injections inside cracks, with no odor. If someone is pregnant or has a chest allergy, tell the technician before he starts.
How much does ant control cost?
The price depends on the size of the place and how bad the infestation is, termites are priced differently from regular ants, and the technician tells you the figure before he starts. Send a photo of the spot and your area on WhatsApp.
How can I tell a flying termite from a flying ant?
Look at the waist: a termite's is broad, and an ant's is narrow and pinched. A termite's wings are equal in length, while an ant's front wings are longer. Termite antennae are also nearly straight.
Why do ants come back after ordinary spraying?
They come back because spraying kills the workers outside while the queen stays alive. The colony replaces them within days, which is why bait that reaches inside the nest makes the difference.
Can termites reach upper floors?
Yes, they can, but ground floors and basements are more at risk. They can come up through cracks and pipes, and some species arrive in infested wood such as used furniture.
Do I have to replace wood that termites have eaten?
The part that has gone hollow usually has to be replaced after treatment, and the rest can stay. The technician tells you exactly what needs replacing and what's still sound.
Does the warranty cover termites?
Yes, regular ants and termites both carry the 5-year warranty, and the certificate states the type of pest and the date. If the problem returns during that period, the technician comes and treats it at our expense.
Do you come the same day?
Yes, we come the same day in every governorate and we work 24 hours. Send your area and a photo of the trail or the damaged wood, so we can send you the right technician.
