Ants are a year-round nuisance in North Lakes, and they tend to get worse after rain and through the warmer months. You might see trails across the kitchen bench, nests pushing up between pavers or ants coming in along skirting boards and power points. Ants also feed spiders and other insects, so dealing with them helps keep the whole yard under control.
When you book ant control, the crew we book will look for where the ants are coming from rather than just spraying the trails you can see. They use baits that worker ants carry back to the nest, along with a treatment around the outside of the house where ants are getting in. Nests in paths, garden beds and along the driveway can be treated directly. Tell us what size and colour the ants are and where you see them most, as this helps the crew plan the right approach for your home.

Do not spray or wipe the ant trails with household spray in the days before the visit, as this can scatter the nest and make baits less useful. Keep sweet foods sealed, wipe up spills and fix leaks under sinks. Some ant types take a little longer to settle, and the crew will explain what to expect for the ants at your place.
