Ant Control Melbourne
We treat the colony, so the trail does not return the following week.
⏱ We call you back within 15 minutes · Open 24 hours, 7 days
What is involved
Spraying an ant trail kills the workers and leaves the nest untouched, which is why the trail is back a week later. We work out where the colony is, what species we are dealing with, and use baits and treatments the ants carry back to the nest themselves.
- Species identification and nest location
- Bait stations placed along active trails
- Perimeter and entry point treatment
- Garden bed, paving and lawn edge treatment where needed
- Advice on food storage and moisture sources

Questions we get asked
Why do ants keep coming back into the house?
Ants follow scent trails to food and water, and spraying the trail only kills the workers you can see. The nest, often outside, keeps sending more.
Effective ant control targets the colony itself, which is why we find where they are coming from before treating.
When are ants worst in Melbourne?
Ant activity rises from spring through summer, and often spikes after rain or during hot spells when colonies move indoors looking for water.
Treating early in the season stops a small trail becoming a kitchen-wide problem.
Can ants damage my house?
Most common ants are a nuisance rather than a structural risk. Some species nest in damp or damaged timber, which can point to a moisture problem worth checking.
If we see signs of that, we will tell you, because damp timber also attracts termites.
What does ant treatment involve?
We identify the species, find entry points and nesting areas, and treat around the perimeter and the trails ants are actually using.
You get clear advice on what to expect afterwards, including how long before activity stops.
