Ants are busy on the Sunshine Coast for most of the year, and they tend to march indoors after rain or during hot 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. Spraying the trail you can see only deals with a few, because the nest keeps sending more. Some ants also nest in wall cavities, under slabs and inside electrical fittings, which is why they seem to appear from nowhere. Finding the source takes a close look along skirting boards, window frames and outside paths, rather than just spraying the benches.
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 in your area. The crew we book finds the trail, works out which ant it is and treats in a way that gets the 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 treatment 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 the ants carry them back 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.
Ant control can be added to a rodent visit at a lower cost than a second trip. We book ant treatments for homes and units across the Sunshine Coast. Call 07 3543 7768 and we will give you a price.
