Ants you see on the bench are only a small part of the colony. The rest are in the nest with the queen, and that nest might be in a wall cavity, under the slab edge, beneath pavers or deep in a garden bed. Ant nest treatment in Pacific Pines is about finding those nests and dealing with them directly, so the trails stop at the source.
When you call, we ask where the ants seem to disappear to and whether you have seen soil piling up anywhere. We then book a nearby independent crew who will trace the trails back to where they start. They look closely at cracks in the slab, gaps under skirting boards and the base of downpipes. The visit usually covers:
- Tracing trails from inside the home to the nest
- Treating nests in lawns, pavers, retaining walls and garden beds
- Dusting or baiting nests inside wall cavities where the crew can reach them
- Checking old stumps, sleepers and firewood stacks for more nests
- Advice on keeping the area dry and clear so ants are less likely to return
Some colonies have more than one nest, especially coastal brown ants, which can spread across a whole yard. The crew may treat several spots in one visit and talk you through what to watch for over the next couple of weeks. If a nest turns out to be a low mound of loose soil with coppery ants, suspected fire ants must be reported to Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23 instead of being treated.
