Ants can show up in Mitchelton homes at any time of year, but calls jump after heavy summer storms and during long hot spells. You might see a line of tiny ants heading for the sugar bowl, ants coming out of a power point, or mounds pushing up between pavers and in the lawn. Some kinds bite, while others just get into everything. Telling us what you are seeing helps the crew choose the right treatment.
The crew we book looks for where the ants are coming from, not just where they end up. They trace trails back to cracks, weep holes, gaps under doors and garden beds. Many indoor ant problems are treated with baits that the workers carry back to the nest to share with the colony. Nests in lawns, pavers and garden edges can be treated directly, and a band of treatment around the outside of the home helps stop new trails forming.

Before the crew arrives, try not to spray the ants with household sprays, as that can split the colony and make the trails harder to find. Wipe up sweet spills, keep pet food sealed and leave the trail where it is. For a day or two after the visit you may see more ants as they take the bait, which is a normal part of the process.
