Ants can turn up in any home in Milton, from a unit on Coronation Drive to a Queenslander on the hill. Black house ants march across kitchen benches, coastal brown ants push up piles of soil between pavers and tiles, and small ants find their way into sugar, honey and pet food. They are most active in the warmer months and often move inside after heavy rain floods their nests.
Spraying the ants you can see tends to split the colony and move the problem elsewhere. Instead, the crew works out where the trails are coming from, then places bait that workers carry back to the nest to share with the queen. Outside, they treat along the walls, around doors and windows, along garden edges and between pavers where nests are active. On balconies, they treat drains, planter boxes and the edges of tiles.

After the visit, you may see more ants for a day or two as they gather the bait. Leave them to it, as wiping them up stops the bait reaching the nest. Most activity settles within a week. If you have pets or young children, mention it when you book so the crew can place bait out of reach.
Crews visit Milton and the western inner suburbs through the week. Call 07 3543 7770 to book ant treatment with pricing given before the visit.
