Ants are one of the most common reasons people in Brisbane pick up the phone. Black house ants trail across benches, coastal brown ants push up soil between pavers, and white-footed ants march along skirting boards in long lines. Spraying the ones you can see only knocks back the workers, while the nest keeps sending more.
When you call, tell us where the trail starts, what size the ants are and whether they are inside, outside or both. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book tracks the trail back towards the nest and treats it there, using baits the ants carry home and sprays along the edges of the house.
- Tracing trails back to entry points and nests
- Ant baits placed where workers will carry them to the colony
- Non-repellent spray around the outside of the home
- Treatment of cracks in paths, pavers and garden edges
- Tips on food storage and cleaning to cut the trail
Ants tend to move indoors after heavy rain and in the hotter months, so late spring and summer are the busiest times for ant calls. Homes with lots of garden beds, mulch or pavers close to the walls often see more of them. The crew can suggest small changes around the yard that make a real difference.
You may see more ants for a day or two as they feed on the bait, which is a good sign. Try not to spray or wipe the bait away. If the trail comes back after a few weeks, it usually means a second nest nearby, and the crew can look again. To book ant control in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7769 and we will line up a local crew.
