Ant trails along a kitchen bench or up through a bathroom tile are one of the most common calls we get from Brisbane homes, especially once the weather warms up. When you ring, we ask where the trail is coming from and how long it has been there, then book a local crew that can trace the line back towards the nest rather than just treating the visible ants on the bench. A quick description of where you first noticed the trail helps the crew get straight to work once they arrive.
Different ant types behave differently, so the crew will usually spend some time working out whether you are dealing with small black ants nesting in a wall cavity, coastal brown ants under a slab, or another type moving in from the garden. This matters in Brisbane, where a mix of older homes on stumps and newer homes on slab both bring their own entry points for ants to use. Garden beds close to the house, paving joints and letterboxes are also worth mentioning, since ants often travel along these before reaching a kitchen or bathroom.
- Tracing the ant trail back towards where the nest is likely to be
- Treatment around entry points such as skirting, window frames and garden beds
- Advice on food storage and bench cleaning that reduces the draw for ants
- A plan suited to the type of ant and the layout of your property
- Attention to paving, letterboxes and garden edges where trails often start
- Upfront pricing agreed before the crew starts any work on site
If ants keep coming back to the same spot in the kitchen or bathroom, call 07 3543 7769 and describe the trail as well as you can. We will book a Brisbane crew who can look at the whole line, not just wipe away what you see on the bench.
