Ants are one of the most common pests around Brisbane homes, especially in spring and summer and after heavy rain. You might see a trail across the kitchen bench, ants coming out of a power point, or small mounds of soil along paths and garden edges. Some ants also bite or sting, which is a worry with children playing outside. We book ant control across Mount Gravatt with a nearby independent pest crew, and you get an upfront price when you call.
The crew we book looks at where the ants are coming from rather than just spraying the trail you can see. They check along skirting boards, around windows and doors, under the house and through the garden to find the nest or the main path inside. Different ants respond to different treatments, so they work out which type you have first. Coastal brown ants, black house ants and green-head ants are among those often seen around Brisbane homes.
- Ant bait that workers carry back to the nest
- A spray barrier around the outside of the house where needed
- Treatment of nests in the yard and along paths
- Advice on food, moisture and plants that draw ants in
After a baiting treatment, you may see more ants for a day or two as they feed. Leave the trail alone and do not wipe it away with spray, so the bait can reach the nest. Keep food sealed and benches clean, and trim plants that touch the walls of the house, as ants use them as bridges to get inside. In warm weather, new trails can appear quickly, so it is worth calling early rather than waiting for a big build-up.
Ant visits in Mount Gravatt and nearby suburbs are same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7768 to book ant control.
