Skip to content “White ants” is a common misnomer for termites, particularly in Australia. Despite their nickname, white ants are not ants at all. Termites are often called white ants because many species have a pale or white coloration, especially in their worker and nymph stages.
Interestingly, termites are actually more closely related to cockroaches than to ants.
It is however important to differentiate between termites and ants for effective pest solutions, as their biology and behaviour require different treatment strategies.
So, for all intents and purposes, the treatment for ‘white ants’ are exactly the same as other subterranean termite eradication methods.
Here’s a quick fix: mix equal parts water and white vinegar, then spray along entry points. The strong scent disrupts their trails, deterring them from returning. Keep surfaces clean, especially where food is present, and seal food containers tightly. For a natural barrier, sprinkle cinnamon, citrus peels, or coffee grounds around entryways. Diatomaceous earth is another effective, non-toxic option. Lastly, repair any cracks or gaps in walls to prevent future intrusions. With these simple steps, you’ll bid those pesky ants farewell, restoring peace to your home.
