Ants are busy in Buderim for most of the year. After summer storms, black house ants and coastal brown ants move indoors in long trails, heading for sugar, pet food and water. Outside, nests push up soil between pavers, under concrete paths and along retaining walls. Green-head ants and bull ants sometimes nest in lawns and garden beds where kids play.
When you call, tell us what the ants look like, where the trails run and whether you have found a nest. We give you upfront pricing and book an independent crew that works in your area. The crew we book traces the trails back to the nest and uses treatments that the ants carry home, so the colony is dealt with rather than just the workers you can see.
- Bait along trails in kitchens, bathrooms and laundries
- Treatment of nests in lawns, pavers and garden beds
- Spraying along slab edges and door frames
- Treatment around retaining walls and garden steps
- Checks around pet bowls, bins and outdoor taps
Before the visit, leave the trails alone so the crew can see where they go, and avoid spraying them yourself. Store sweet foods in sealed containers and wipe up spills. After baiting, ant numbers can rise for a day or two as they feed, then drop away over the next week or two. Keep kids and pets off treated lawns until they are dry. If a trail comes back after a few weeks, tell us, as a second nest may be nearby.
Homes on the sloping blocks around Buderim often have ants coming up through retaining walls and garden steps. Tell us if the ants are biting or swarming, so we can pass it on. Call 07 3543 7765 to get a price and book a visit.
