Ants are one of the most common reasons people in Wallan pick up the phone. They show up in long lines across the kitchen bench, along the skirting boards and around the bathroom, usually when the weather warms up or after rain. In the newer estates, ants often move into slabs and garden beds soon after building work disturbs their nests.
Spraying the trail you can see rarely solves it, because the colony is somewhere else. The crew we book looks for where the ants are coming from, such as cracks in the slab, gaps under doors, paving edges or a nest in the lawn. They then treat the entry points and the nest area, using baits or sprays suited to the type of ant and where it is working. Tell us whether they are small black ants, larger brown ones or ants that bite, as that helps the crew bring the right gear.
- Inside trails tracked back to where the ants get in
- Nests in lawns, paths and garden beds found and treated
- Baits used where spraying would scatter the colony
- Advice on food storage, pet bowls and bench cleaning
- Outside perimeter treated where the ants keep coming back
Ant numbers usually drop over the days after a visit as the treatment works through the colony. You may still see a few for a short while, which is normal. Keeping food sealed and wiping benches helps the treatment do its job.
