Ant control is the most common job we book in Mount Gravatt. Trails across the kitchen bench, ants in the bathroom and lines running up the outside walls all start the same way: a nest somewhere close to the house and workers heading inside for food and water. When you call, we ask where you are seeing them, how many there are and how long it has been going on, then book a nearby independent crew with the price agreed before the visit.
The crew we book does not just spray what they can see. They trace the trail back toward the nest and look at how the ants are getting in. On older timber homes that is often through the subfloor and up the stumps. On brick homes it is usually weep holes, expansion joints and gaps around pipes. Once they have a clear picture, they choose a treatment to suit the ant and the spot. If you rent, it helps to check with your agent before the visit, and the crew can leave notes on what they found for the landlord.

- Simple tips on food storage and gaps to keep ants from coming back
Homes around Mount Gravatt often back onto bush or have big leafy gardens, so ant numbers can stay high through the warmer months. The crew will talk you through what they did and what to watch for over the next couple of weeks, as bait takes some time to work through the nest.
