Ant Control in Canberra & Queanbeyan

Ant trails across the kitchen bench, nests lifting the pavers, ants in the bathroom after rain. Supermarket sprays only kill the ants you can see. We use treatments the ants carry back to the nest, so the whole colony is dealt with.

FAQ

Ant Control questions

Why do ants come back after I spray them?

Surface sprays kill the ants you see but miss the nest, where the queen keeps producing new workers. Professional non-repellent treatments are carried back by the ants, which affects the whole colony.

How quickly will the ants be gone?

You will usually see a big drop in ant activity within a few days, and the colony is controlled over one to two weeks as the treatment spreads through the nest.

Do you treat ants in the garden and paving too?

Yes. We treat nests in lawns, garden beds and between pavers, as well as ants inside the home.
