Ants are one of the most common calls we get from homes across North Brisbane, usually a trail running from a gap in the skirting board straight to the pantry or the pet bowl. Garden beds and paving close to the house give them cover to nest near the foundations before scouts start turning up inside.
Once you call 07 3543 7773, we ask where the trail is coming from and how long it has been going on, then book a local team to treat both the nest area outside and the entry points the ants are using indoors. Treating only the trail you can see often misses the nest itself, which usually sits further away, so the trail comes back within a week or two.
Homes across North Brisbane with garden beds hard against the walls, or paving with expansion joints, tend to see more ant activity through the warmer months. The crew checks these areas along with the usual indoor spots such as skirting boards, window frames and under the sink.
Different ant types behave differently around a home. Some nest in wall cavities or under slabs, others prefer garden beds or gaps in paving, and each needs a slightly different approach to bring the trail under control. Numbers usually pick up through spring and summer, so a trail that shows up in a North Brisbane kitchen as the weather warms is common rather than unusual.
