Ants are one of the most common calls in Hamilton alongside cockroaches, especially once the weather warms up. You might see a trail heading across the kitchen bench toward a sugar bowl, small mounds pushing up through paving in the yard, or ants moving along skirting boards near a window. Different ants need different bait, so getting the type right matters more than how much is used, and spraying the wrong bait on the wrong species can sometimes scatter a colony rather than deal with it.
The crew we book traces the trail back toward the nest where they can, rather than just wiping out what is visible on the bench. Bait placed along the trail gets carried back to the colony, which deals with the source instead of just the ants you happen to see that day. In Hamilton gardens, nests are often tucked under paving, along fence lines or inside garden edging where they are easy to miss.
- Inspection to identify the type of ant and likely nest area
- Bait placed along trails, skirting boards and entry points
- Treatment around paving, garden beds and the base of the home
- A perimeter spray outside where the ants are coming in from
- Advice on food storage and gaps that keep ants coming back
Bait usually takes a few days to reach the whole colony, so it is worth leaving trails alone rather than wiping them away straight after the visit. Numbers in Hamilton gardens tend to settle inside a week once the nest has been reached.
