Ants are part of life in Brisbane, but a trail marching across the kitchen bench or ants spilling out of a power point is more than most people want to live with. Numbers often rise in spring and summer and after heavy rain, when nests flood and ants move indoors. We book ant control across Sunnybank with a nearby independent pest crew, and you get an upfront price when you call. Some ants bite or sting, which is a worry with young children or pets in the yard.
Spraying the trail you can see seldom solves the problem, because the nest keeps sending more ants. The crew we book traces the ants back toward the nest, checking skirting boards, window and door frames, the space under the house and the garden. They identify the type of ant, since different species respond to different treatments, and then choose what suits your home. Ants also nest in pot plants and under pavers, so the crew checks these spots too.

After baiting, you may see more ants for a day or two while they feed. Leave the trail alone and avoid wiping it with spray, so the bait can reach the nest. Keep food sealed, wipe up sweet spills straight away and trim plants back from the walls, as ants use them as bridges into the house.
Ant visits in Sunnybank and nearby suburbs are same-day or next-day where the run allows. Call 07 3543 7767 to book ant control.
