Ants are a common problem in Moorooka, especially after heavy rain or during the warm months when colonies are growing. You might see a thin trail across the kitchen bench, ants in the bathroom or small mounds along paths and garden beds. Call us, tell us where you are seeing them and we will give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew.
Spraying the ants you can see rarely solves the problem, because the nest is usually tucked away outside, in a wall cavity or under paving. The crew we book looks for where the trails start and end, then uses baits and targeted treatments that the ants carry back to the nest. This works on the colony rather than just the workers you see.

- Baiting inside where ants are feeding
- Outside treatment around paths, garden beds and wall bases
- Checks around power points, window frames and door frames
- Tips on wiping trails and storing sweet food
Some ants in Moorooka nest in the garden and only come inside for food. Others move into walls, roof spaces or even electrical boxes. The crew will tell you which kind you seem to have and what to expect in the days after treatment. Seeing a few more ants for a short time can be normal while baits are being taken back.
Before the visit, try not to spray or wipe the trails, as the crew uses them to find the nest. Keep food sealed and pet bowls clean. To book ant control and get a price, call 07 3543 7768 and we will match you with a local crew.
