Ant trails across a kitchen bench or along a path in the yard are one of the most common calls we take from Albany Creek, particularly once the weather warms up and colonies become more active. A trail usually leads back to a nest somewhere close by, under a paver, in a garden bed or inside a wall cavity.
The crew traces the trail back to work out where the nest is, rather than only treating the ants that are visible inside the house, since spraying the trail alone tends to scatter the colony without dealing with the source. Outdoor nests under paving, retaining walls or garden beds are treated directly, and indoor entry points are checked and sealed where possible. Where ants are coming in along a skirting board or architrave, the crew looks at the gap itself rather than only the visible line of ants, since sealing the gap is what stops the trail coming back.
Some Albany Creek properties have more than one ant species active at once, and treatment differs depending on which one is causing the problem, so the crew will work out what is present before deciding on the approach. Rain can also push ants indoors as underground nests flood, which is worth mentioning when you call.
