Ants are one of the most common reasons people call us in Mitchelton, especially after rain or during the first hot weeks of spring. A single trail across the kitchen bench can turn into hundreds of ants within a day. Spraying the ones you can see often just splits the nest, so the ants come back somewhere else. Call us and we will give you upfront pricing for a proper treatment.
The crew we book starts by tracking the trail back to where it enters the home, whether that is a gap in a window frame, a crack in a timber floor or a garden bed against the wall. They use baits the ants carry back to the nest, along with a non-repellent spray around the outside of the home that ants pick up as they walk through it.

Older timber homes in Mitchelton often have gaps around stumps and floorboards where ants move in from the subfloor, while newer brick homes see more trails from garden beds and paving. Small black house ants come looking for sugar, and coastal brown ants push soil up between pavers. After treatment, you may see more ants for a day or two as they feed on the bait, which is a normal part of the process.
Try not to wipe the trails away with spray before the crew arrives. To book ant control in Mitchelton, call 07 3543 7767 and we will line up a local crew.
