Ants are one of the most common calls we get from homes in Petrie, especially after rain when nests flood and ants move indoors looking for food and dry ground. A trail across the kitchen bench or up a bathroom wall usually means a nest nearby, often under a path, in a wall gap or in the lawn. Ant control focuses on finding where they are coming from and treating the colony, not just the ants you can see.
The crew we book traces the trail back as far as they can and then chooses the right mix of baits and targeted treatment. An ant control visit usually covers:
- Kitchens, pantries and bathrooms where trails appear
- Gaps around skirting boards, windows and power points
- Paths, pavers and driveway edges
- Garden beds and lawn nests close to the house
- Advice on food storage and keeping benches clear
Before the visit, avoid spraying the ants yourself for a day or two, as that can scatter the colony and make baits less useful. Wipe benches, put food away and bring pet bowls inside. The crew will explain where baits have been placed and how long to leave them undisturbed.
You may see more ants for a day or two as they carry bait back to the nest, and then numbers should drop. Some types of ant need a second visit, especially in large lawns or where nests sit under paving. Keeping benches wiped, sealing food and fixing dripping taps all help the treatment do its job.
