Outside, they nest under paving, along fence lines and in garden beds, and a warm spell after rain is often when activity picks up and trails appear indoors. Common black ants and the smaller coastal brown ant are both regularly reported in the area, and a single warm afternoon after a wet spell is often enough for a trail to appear along a kitchen bench or windowsill.
When you call 03 7053 9855 about ants, we ask where the trail starts and finishes if you can tell, along with how long it has been happening. That helps the crew find the nest rather than just treating the trail, since spraying visible ants alone tends to only fix the problem for a few days.
A visit for ant control in Broadmeadows usually treats both the trail indoors and the nesting areas outside, working around paving, garden beds and the base of the house where ants commonly enter. The crew we book uses a treatment that ants carry back to the nest, which deals with the colony rather than only the ants you can see.
