Check the ant trail and entry points
The technician looks for active routes through the home, including gaps around doors and windows, skirting board lines, and pathways between indoor and outdoor areas.
When ants trail across benches, cupboards, or outdoor pavers, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can locate the entry points and treat the cause of the activity.
Ants often return when the underlying access route is still open. A targeted inspection helps stop the trail and reduce future re-infestation.
What you can expect
Ant Control in Annandale covers inspection, identification of entry routes and likely nesting areas, and a targeted treatment plan designed to reduce active ants and prevent easy re-entry. For full details of the approach, see the Ant Control service page.
You may see a steady trail of ants from a food source on the kitchen bench to a skirting board, window frame, or door gap. Outdoors, ants can cluster around pavers, along garden edges, or near outdoor bins and hoses.
