Ants around Mount Gravatt are usually small black ants or coastal brown ants working a trail from a nest outside straight to a food source in the kitchen. A single line of ants along a skirting board or window frame is often just the visible part of a much larger trail running through wall cavities, under paving or through garden beds close to the house.
The crew we book will trace the trail back where possible and treat the nest area itself along with the entry points ants are using, rather than only spraying the ants you can see. Baiting is often used indoors, since ants carry bait back to the colony and it can reduce the nest over a week or two, while an outdoor barrier treatment around the foundation line helps stop new trails forming.
Coastal brown ants can nest in wall cavities and roof voids in Mount Gravatt homes, particularly in areas with brick veneer construction, and these nests sometimes need a different approach to a simple garden-bed colony. Wet weather often pushes ant activity indoors as nests in the yard flood, so treatments booked after heavy rain may need a return visit once conditions dry out.
Keep pet food, fruit bowls and rubbish bins away from problem areas where you can, since an easy food source will keep drawing ants back even after a treatment.
