Frequently Asked Questions
Achieving Lasting Ant Protection in Sensitive Spaces
New Zealand is home to a surprising diversity of ant species, ranging from hardy natives to aggressive invaders that can cause headaches for homeowners and businesses alike. Among the most troublesome is the Argentine ant (Linepithema humile), an invasive species known for forming massive, fast-spreading colonies. These ants thrive in urban areas, outcompeting local species and infesting everything from kitchens to greenhouses. The coastal brown ant (Pheidole megacephala) is another problematic import, often found in gardens and around building foundations, where it can damage plants and structures.
Native ants, such as Darwin’s ant (Doleromyrma darwiniana) and the white-footed house ant (Technomyrmex albipes), still maintain a foothold in more natural environments but are increasingly found indoors, especially in cooler weather. The southern ant (Monomorium antarcticum) is uniquely adapted to New Zealand’s alpine regions, thriving where few others can. In forests, you’ll encounter the native brown ant (Prolasius advenus), an important part of local ecosystems, as well as occasional visits from the black house ant (Ochetellus glaber), which often forages in kitchens and pantries. The South African big-headed ant (Pheidole megacephala), although less common, is a serious garden pest, known for displacing beneficial insects and disturbing soil.
To combat these unwanted intruders and protect your property, it’s essential to use targeted, professional-grade solutions. MAC Slay Residual Ant Insecticide Spray is designed for NZ’s unique ant challenges, efficiently eliminating colonies, protecting your home or business, and supporting biosecurity by disrupting the spread of invasive ants. Using integrated pest management not only safeguards living and working spaces but also helps maintain the balance of New Zealand’s delicate ecosystems.

Ant infestations in New Zealand often begin when worker ants discover a food or water source inside a building—think crumbs in a kitchen, leaky pipes, or open rubbish bins. Once a scout ant finds something of value, it lays down a pheromone trail, guiding others to the spot. This can quickly lead to lines of ants marching in and out, especially in warmer months or after rain when colonies seek higher, drier ground.
Common entry points include cracks in foundations, gaps around windows and doors, and unsealed plumbing. Some species, like Argentine ants, can create satellite nests throughout a property, making them especially hard to eliminate without professional products.
To prevent infestations, it’s critical to maintain good hygiene, seal entry points, and use proven ant control solutions like MAC Slay, which creates a long-lasting barrier and targets hidden colonies.

While household remedies like vinegar, baking soda, or essential oils may repel ants temporarily, they rarely address the root cause—a growing colony hidden in walls, under floors, or outside in the garden. Over-the-counter sprays might kill the ants you see, but they don’t disrupt the nest, allowing the infestation to return.
Professional ant insecticides such as MAC Slay Residual Ant Insecticide Spray are formulated for long-lasting, targeted action. These products work by leaving an invisible barrier that ants won’t cross and, in some cases, transfer the active ingredient back to the nest. This is crucial for eliminating the queen and preventing the colony from bouncing back.
Businesses and food handling environments have even more reason to use certified, MPI-approved insecticides:
- They are specifically tested for safety and effectiveness in sensitive areas
- They help ensure compliance with food safety audits and regulations
- They reduce the risk of contamination and pest resurgence
