Ants are a year-round nuisance in Hamilton, but they get much worse after heavy rain and during the warm months. You might see trails across kitchen benches, ants in the bathroom, mounds along paths, or small piles of soil pushed up between pavers. Black house ants and coastal brown ants are both common around Brisbane. Some kinds bite, and some nest inside walls and power points, which makes them hard to reach with a spray from the supermarket.
Spraying the trail you can see usually only moves the problem, because the nest stays alive. The crew we book looks for where the ants are coming from and uses a mix of baits and non-repellent sprays that the ants carry back to the nest. That way the treatment reaches the colony, not just the workers on your bench.
- Baiting of indoor ant trails and entry points
- Outside treatment along paths, walls and garden edges
- Treatment of nests found in pavers, garden beds and grass
- Tips on food storage and sealing gaps
Before the crew arrives, leave the ant trails alone so the crew can see where they lead. Wipe benches with plain water rather than strong cleaners, which can wipe away the scent trail. Keep pet food in sealed tubs and fix any dripping taps, since ants look for water as much as food.
Results take a few days as the bait works its way through the colony, and you may see more ants at first while they feed. If you live in a unit or townhouse, ask your neighbours if they have ants too, since nests often run under shared paths and gardens.
