Ants become a regular call in New Farm once the weather warms up, usually turning up as a trail along a skirting board, window frame or kitchen bench heading toward a food source. Ant control starts with tracing the trail back toward the nest or entry point, which might be inside a wall cavity, under paving or in garden beds close to the building.
The crew we book treats the nest where it can be found and reached, and applies bait or a barrier treatment along entry points such as window frames, door thresholds and gaps around pipes. In New Farm units without direct garden access, entry points are usually the main focus rather than an outdoor nest.
Some ant species respond quickly to bait, while others need a couple of visits to bring numbers down properly, especially where a nest is hard to reach. The crew will explain which type of ant is involved and what to expect over the weeks ahead.
Ant trails in New Farm often reappear in the same spot year after year once the weather turns, so pointing this out to the crew on the day helps them target the entry point rather than only treating the visible trail. A second booking the next season is common for homes with a persistent nest nearby that cannot be fully removed.
