An ant barrier treatment puts a treated band around the outside of your home so ants crossing it pick up the product and carry it back toward the nest. It suits Brisbane homes where ants keep walking in from the garden, especially after rain or in the warmer months. It works well alongside baits, which reach the colony from the inside.
The crew we book looks at how your home is built before deciding where to treat. On a brick home, that means the slab edge, weep holes, door thresholds and gaps around pipes. On a timber home on stumps, it can mean the stumps, stairs and lattice line. Units and townhouses usually need a smaller band. They also look for plants, mulch and fences that touch the house and act as bridges.

- Doors, windows, weep holes and pipe entries
- Checks for plants and mulch touching the house
- Spot treatment of nests found during the visit
- Advice on watering and rain after treatment
Heavy rain and hosing can wash some of the treatment away, so the crew may suggest holding off on garden watering near the house for a day or so. They will also tell you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas. A barrier on its own does not reach a nest already inside a wall, so baits or dusts may be added.
