Ants are one of the most common pest calls in Redlands. They march along benches, into pantries, up walls and across paths, and in summer they can seem to appear overnight. Ants in the yard make outdoor areas less pleasant too. Ant control finds where the trails are coming from and treats the nest and entry points, rather than just wiping away the ants you can see.
The crew we book will track the trails back from the kitchen or bathroom to where they enter the house, and then look for the nest outside. Common spots include garden beds, cracks in paths and driveways, under pavers, along the base of walls and inside wall cavities. Nests in grass and garden edges are often easy to miss. Different ants need different baits and sprays, so the crew will pick the right approach for what they find.
- Tracing ant trails to nests and entry points
- Bait placement for ants that carry food back to the nest
- Treatment of paths, pavers and the base of the house
- Attention to kitchens, pantries and bathrooms inside
- Advice on food storage and sealing small gaps
Try not to spray or wipe the trails in the days after a baiting treatment, because the ants need to carry the bait back to the nest. Keep benches clean and store sweet foods in sealed containers. In Redlands ants often get busier before rain, so a treatment at the start of the warm season can save a lot of frustration.
