For many homes in Sunnybank, the ants are coming from the yard, not living inside. An ant perimeter treatment puts a treated band around the base of the house and along the main routes ants take to get in. Ants that walk through it carry the product back to their nest, which cuts down on the number heading inside.
The crew we book walks around the whole house first, noting where trails run, where garden beds and mulch sit against the walls and where plants touch the roof or eaves. They then treat along the base of the walls, the edges of paths and driveways and around doors, windows, weep holes, pipes and downpipes. On raised homes, the stumps and subfloor edges are included. Sheds and garages close to the house can be added when you book.
- Base of outside walls and slab edges
- Weep holes, door frames, window frames and pipe entries
- Downpipes, garden taps and other damp spots
- Garden beds, mulch and paving next to the house
- Stumps and subfloor edges on raised homes
Keep people and pets off the treated areas until the crew says it is fine, which is usually once it has dried. Heavy rain soon after can wash some of the treatment away, so a dry spell is a good time to book. Trimming plants back from the walls and pulling mulch a little away from the house helps too. A perimeter treatment often goes well with baiting inside when ants are already in the kitchen. Townhouses and units can have their own courtyards and walls done.
