Ants trailing across kitchen benches or along skirting boards are one of the more common calls from Fortitude Valley, especially once the weather warms up. Rather than wiping up a trail and waiting for it to reappear somewhere else, ant treatment deals with the nest or entry point behind the trail, which is the only way to actually slow an ant problem that has settled in.
The crew we book will trace the trail back as far as they can, check around window frames, door thresholds and garden beds close to the house, and treat the areas ants are using to get inside. Homes across Fortitude Valley often have gardens or courtyards close to outside walls, which gives ants an easy path indoors, so outdoor treatment around the foundation line usually matters as much as anything done inside. Kitchens and pantries get particular attention, since food scraps and spills are what draw ants in to begin with. Ants often use tiny gaps around plumbing or cabling to get inside, so the crew checks these spots as part of the outdoor treatment too.
Keeping benches wiped down and food sealed will not sort an ant problem on its own once it has taken hold, but it does help the treatment work for longer once the crew has dealt with the entry points around your home.
