Ants are one of the most common reasons people call us after cockroaches. On the Sunshine Coast they are active most of the year and tend to move indoors after heavy rain or during hot, dry spells. Small black ants trail across kitchen benches, coastal brown ants push soil up between pavers and larger ants nest in walls and garden edges. Ants can also be drawn in by the same crumbs and spills that feed cockroaches, so homes with one problem often have both.
Spraying the trail you can see only deals with a handful, because the nest keeps sending more. When you call, tell us where the ants are coming in and what they look like. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works near you. The crew we book works out which ant it is, then treats in a way that gets bait back to the nest.
- Ant type worked out so the right bait or spray is used
- Gel or granular bait placed on active trails
- Spray around slab edges, pavers and entry points
- Garden beds, retaining walls and paths checked for nests
- Tips on keeping benches and pet bowls clear while bait works
Baits work slowly on purpose, so worker ants have time to carry them home and share them through the nest. Try not to spray or wipe the trails for a few days after the visit. Most homes see the ants thin out within a week or so, although large or multiple nests can take a little longer.
Ant control is easy to add to a cockroach visit, and many homes book both together. We book ant treatments for houses and units across the Sunshine Coast. Call 07 3543 7767 and we will give you a price.
