Ants usually turn up as a trail along a skirting board, windowsill or kitchen bench, tracing a line back to a gap in the wall or a nest somewhere in the garden. In Melbourne, older homes with timber framing and garden beds close to the house give ants plenty of routes indoors, particularly once the weather warms up and colonies start looking further afield for food.
Rather than treating the trail you can see, the crew we book looks for where the ants are coming from and treats that source, along with the entry points being used. This gives a better result than spraying visible ants alone, which tend to reappear within days if the nest itself is left alone. Paved courtyards, raised garden beds and potted plants near the back door are common starting points in units and terraces alike, so mentioning where your outdoor space sits helps the crew plan the visit.
Describe what you have seen when you call, including where the trail runs and how long it has been going on, and we will give you a price before booking anyone in for Melbourne. Larger properties with more than one trail are worth mentioning too, since it may change how long the visit takes.
