Ants are one of the most common pest calls on the Gold Coast. Small black ants trail across benchtops looking for sugar and water, coastal brown ants push soil up through paving and gaps in tiles, and some kinds set up nests inside wall cavities and around power points. Activity usually picks up in spring and before summer storms. Ant control finds where the trails lead and treats the nest, not just the ants you can see.
When you call, we ask where the trails are, how big the ants are and whether you have seen any mounds or piles of soil. Spraying the trail yourself often just splits the colony into more nests, so it helps to leave the ants alone until the crew arrives. We book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew we book traces the trails back to the entry points and nests, then uses baits, dusts or targeted sprays suited to the type of ant. Baits are carried back to the nest by worker ants, which helps reach the queen. The crew explains what to expect in the days after the visit, as ant activity can rise for a short time before it drops away.
