Ant trails can show up almost overnight in Brisbane, especially after a summer storm or a run of hot days. One day there is nothing, the next there is a line from the window frame to the sugar bowl. Most of the ants you see are workers. The nest, and the queen that keeps it going, is usually out of sight in a wall, under a path or in the garden.
When you call, tell us where the trail starts and ends, what size the ants are and whether they bite or just wander. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. The crew we book tracks the ants back as far as they can, then uses baits the workers carry home and a spray around the outside of the house that the ants cross without noticing.

Brisbane has many ant types, and some are harder to shift than others. Coastal brown ants throw up little piles of soil along paths, while tiny black ants push into kitchens and bathrooms. A good description helps the crew bring the right baits for the job.
Leave the bait alone for a few days, even if you see more ants feeding on it. That means the bait is reaching the nest. Wiping it up or spraying it will slow the process. To book ant treatment in Brisbane, call 07 3543 7767 and we will line up a local crew.
