Ant calls in Broadmeadows peak after spring rain and again in the February heat, when colonies move toward water and food inside the house. Argentine ants are the big problem in the townhouse estates, forming huge connected colonies that run between properties and cannot be dealt with by spraying one trail. Black ants and coastal browns nest under slabs, paving and garden edges and come in through weep holes and sliding door tracks.
We identify the species first, because the baits are different, then place gel and granular baits that the workers carry back to the queens. Around the outside we treat the slab edge, paving joints, mulch and the base of the walls. For Argentine ant infestations we tell you honestly that it usually takes a return visit and sometimes a word with the neighbours, because the colony does not stop at your fence.
