A big backyard gives ants plenty of room. Garden beds, grass, fence lines, sheds, woodpiles, cubby houses and compost bins can all hold colonies, and in Brisbane the warm, wet months help them grow quickly. Many yards have more than one type of ant at once. Yard ant treatment is about dealing with the colonies outside before they spread toward the house.
The crew we book walks the yard looking for mounds, nest holes, soil piles and busy trails. They note where people and pets spend time, such as play areas, clotheslines and outdoor eating spots, and plan the treatment around them. Depending on the ant, they may spread a granular bait across the area, treat nests directly or treat fence lines and garden edges. They will also tell you how long to keep kids and pets off treated areas.

Before treating any mound, the crew checks which ant built it. If it could be fire ants, they will tell you. Fire ants are a notifiable biosecurity pest in Queensland, and suspected fire ants must be reported to Biosecurity Queensland on 13 25 23, the National Fire Ant Eradication Program. The crew we book can help identify ants and treat where treatment is permitted.
