What our customers say
Filmed by our customers, not scripted by us.
How does ant control in Geelong actually work?
The work happens outside, not on your bench. A technician follows the trail back to the nest, which around Geelong is nearly always outdoors: paver sand, an expansion joint, a garden bed against the wall, a fence line, or on older housing the open subfloor under the stumps, which is dry, warm and never disturbed. Treatment is non repellent transfer bait on the active runs, carried back and shared through the colony including the queen. The one thing that undoes it is a repellent supermarket spray, which kills the workers, warns the colony and makes it split and open new trails. On properties backing onto paddocks, reserves or the foreshore expect seasonal pressure all summer, so sealing the ways in matters as much as the bait. Call 0436 389 114, seven days.
The nest outside, the trail inside. Both in one price.
The nest is rarely in your kitchen
On a Geelong property the ants in the house almost always live somewhere else, and the trail is just the commute.
Work out where the colony sits and the job becomes simple. Treat only the kitchen and it repeats every few weeks.
- Paving and paths. Paver sand and the joint where a path meets the wall are the most common nest sites on a suburban block.
- Under the floor. Older stumped housing leaves a dry, undisturbed subfloor that a colony will happily occupy, sending trails up through pipe penetrations.
- Garden beds and fence lines. Especially where the block backs onto paddocks, a reserve or the foreshore and there is constant pressure through summer.
- Damp timber. Carpenter ants nest in it rather than eat it, so finding them usually means finding a moisture problem.
Not sure where they are coming from? We will trace it for you.
Ant Control Geelong: what the job covers
The aim is the colony, not the workers on the bench. Everything below is pointed at the nest.
Finding the nest outside
Around Geelong the colony is almost always outdoors: garden beds, paving sand, under the stumps or along a fence line. We trace the trail rather than treat the kitchen.
Non repellent transfer bait
Carried back and shared through the colony including the queen. It is slower than a spray for a day and then it actually works.
Subfloor and stumps
Open subfloors on older housing give ants a warm, dry, undisturbed place to nest a metre under the kitchen. It gets checked.
Paving, paths and garden edges
Expansion joints, paver sand and the junction where a path meets the wall are the classic nest sites on a Geelong block.
Doors, weep holes and pipework
The ways in get advised on, because on a property backing onto open ground they will keep arriving all season.
A written report
The species, the nest, the treatment and what keeps attracting them. Handy for a rental or a holiday let.
Nest, trail and entry points, handled in one visit.
Ants in Geelong paving, decks and outdoor kitchens
A lot of Geelong ant calls are not really about the house at all. They are about the entertaining area.
Paving is close to perfect for a colony: warm, well drained sand underneath, expansion joints to travel along, and a slab edge that runs straight to the wall of the house. Add an outdoor kitchen or a barbecue and the food is there too.
So we treat the joints, the paver sand and the slab edge rather than wiping over the surfaces, because that is where the colony actually lives.
- Paver joints and the sand beneath them.
- Slab edges and the junction where paving meets the wall.
- Decking bearers and the ground underneath.
- Outdoor kitchens, barbecues and bins, which are the reason they stay.
Ants through the outdoor area? Get the paving treated, not just wiped.
From the trail to the colony
No surprises, and no price that changes once we are on site.
Describe the trail and where it enters
Under a door, up through a floor gap, along the window frame. On an older house the entry often points straight at the subfloor.
We find the colony outside
Garden beds, paving, stumps, fence lines and the woodpile. That is where the nest sits on nearly every Geelong block.
One fixed price, before we drive
Covering Geelong, the Bellarine and the Surf Coast, confirmed before we leave.
Bait, then treat the nest area
Transfer bait on the active runs, plus treatment to the paving, slab edge and subfloor access points.
We follow up
Trails normally stop inside a week. We check rather than assume, and look at anything new that has started.
One fixed price for the whole job, confirmed before we leave.
Ant control cost in Geelong
Ant jobs vary more than people expect, because one trail from a garden bed and a colony spread through a whole block are different problems.
What does not vary is the way we quote it. You get the number before we travel, based on what you describe, and it does not change on the day.
- Species. A single nest colony is simpler than an Argentine ant population with many queens.
- Where the nest is. A garden bed is easy, a wall void or a subfloor takes longer to reach.
- How much area. Paving, paths and outdoor areas add surface that has to be treated.
- Whether it has been sprayed. A scattered colony needs more placements to bring back together.
