After cockroaches, ants are one of the most common pests in Surfers Paradise homes. Tiny black ants march along benchtops and window sills in search of sugar and water, coastal brown ants lift sand and soil through paving and courtyard tiles, and some kinds nest inside wall cavities, balcony planters and electrical boxes. Activity tends to jump before summer storms and after long dry spells.
When you call, we ask where the trails start and end, how big the ants are, and whether you have seen soil piled up outside. It helps to leave the trails alone rather than spraying, as spray can split a nest into several smaller ones. We book a nearby independent crew and give you upfront pricing before the visit.
The crew we book traces the ant trails back to where they enter the home, and where possible to the nest itself. They use baits the ants carry home, dusts in voids and targeted sprays around entry points and the outside of the building, depending on the kind of ant. In apartments, they look closely at balconies, window frames and pot plants. Expect some extra activity for a few days before numbers fall away. They also suggest simple steps, such as wiping benchtops with vinegar and sealing sugar and honey, to make the kitchen less attractive.
