Ant trails along the kitchen bench, tiny ants in the bathroom and nests pushing up between pavers are everyday calls from Kawana. Warm weather keeps ants active for most of the year, and they often move indoors before a storm or after heavy rain floods their nests. We ask where the ants are and what they look like, give you upfront pricing and book a nearby independent crew. A photo of the ants on your phone can help the crew plan the visit.
The type of ant matters. Tiny black house ants nest in wall cavities and under slabs, and travel along scent trails to sweet food. Coastal brown ants build nests in lawns and garden edges, leaving little mounds of sand along paths and driveways, and are common in the newer estates around Birtinya and Bokarina where turf is freshly laid. Some ant nests split into several new ones when hit with a surface spray from the supermarket.
The crew tracks the trails back to where the ants are coming from, then uses a mix of baits and outside treatments so worker ants carry the product back to the nest. They also treat entry points such as weep holes, door frames, window sills and gaps around pipes. Nests in lawns and garden beds can be included in the same visit.

Ant numbers usually fall away over a week or two as the bait works through the nest. To book ant control in Kawana, call 07 3543 7771 and describe where you are seeing them.
