Ant control is the most common call we take from Pacific Pines. Small black ants on the kitchen bench, coastal brown ants pushing soil up between pavers and long trails along the skirting boards are all part of life in a warm, humid corner of the northern Gold Coast. When you call, we ask where you are seeing the ants, how many there are and how long it has been going on, then book a nearby independent crew to find the source.
The crew we book starts with a look inside and out. They trace where the trails lead, check garden beds, paths, weep holes and the edges of the slab, and work out which kind of ant they are dealing with. That matters, because different ants take different baits and nest in different places. A typical visit can include:
- An inspection of the trails, nests and entry points around the home
- Baiting inside where sprays are not suitable, such as kitchens
- A treatment around the outside walls, paths and garden edges
- Treatment of nests found in lawns, pavers or garden beds
- Plain advice on food, water and gaps that draw ants inside
Most homes see numbers drop within a few days to a couple of weeks, depending on the ant and the size of the colony. The crew will explain what to expect and what to avoid, such as spraying over fresh baits or mopping treated edges straight away. Suspected fire ants must be reported to Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23, and the crew we book does not treat them.
