Ants are one of the most common pests in Toowong homes, especially in the warmer months and after rain. Tiny black house ants march in trails across kitchen benches, coastal brown ants push up soil between pavers and along paths, and larger ants build nests in garden beds, grass edges and wall gaps. Once a trail finds food or water inside, it can be hard to shift.
When you call, we ask where you are seeing the ants, whether they are inside, outside or both, and roughly how big they are. We give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
At the visit, the crew tracks the ant trails back toward the nest where they can, both inside and around the outside of the house. They explain the options, which often include baits that ants carry back to the nest, along with treatments around the outside edges, paving and entry points. They tell you where they are placing products and how long to keep children and pets away from treated areas. They also point out things that draw ants inside, such as pet food, fruit bowls and leaking taps.

Before the visit, try not to spray the trails, as that can scatter the ants and make the nest harder to find. Ant control can be added to a wasp or spider job at the same time. To book ant control in Toowong, call 07 3543 7771.
