Some ant problems never make it inside. Instead, you see soil pushing up between pavers, small mounds along the driveway, ants swarming over the outdoor table or trails all over the patio. Outdoor ant treatment in Pacific Pines deals with the colonies living in lawns, paths and garden beds, so you can use the yard again without ants climbing up your legs. It is a common job in suburbs with big backyards and lots of paving.
Coastal brown ants are a common cause, and their nests can spread under a whole paved area. Other ants build nests at the base of trees, under rocks and along retaining walls. When you call, we ask about the size of the yard and where the ants are worst, then book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing. An outdoor visit can include:
- Treating ants in lawns, pavers and between driveway joints
- Treating nests along retaining walls, edging and garden beds
- Treating ants around outdoor furniture, play areas and the barbecue
- Treating ants along paths going to the house
- Checking the base of trees and shrubs for nests
- Advice on mulch, watering and gaps where ants settle
The crew will explain how long to keep children and pets off the lawn and paths. Low mounds of loose soil with coppery brown ants that swarm when disturbed are a different matter. Suspected fire ants must be reported to Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23, and the crew we book does not treat or eradicate them, so please make that call first.
