Ant Treatment
Ant Control in Townsville – When Ants Start Invading, We Step In
Have ants started showing up in your kitchen, patio, or yard out of nowhere? You are not imagining it, as Townsville’s humid, tropical climate is a magnet for ants. Once they find food or water in your home, they will keep coming back unless you stop them at the source.
At Townsville Termite Specialist, we understand ant behaviour. We don’t just treat the symptoms – you get a proper inspection, tailored treatment and prevention plan that keeps ants away for the long haul.
Why Ants Are Hard to Eliminate
Ants might look harmless at first, but they are highly organised and fast to multiply. They travel long distances from their nests to hunt for crumbs, moisture or sweet drinks left out. You might see a trail of them along the bench, but their colony could be hidden deep under concrete, garden beds or wall cavities.
To make matters worse, different ant species exhibit distinct behaviours. Some build nests inside electrical boxes or wall cavities, while others prefer sandy soil or rotting wood. Without identifying the species, you are only treating part of the problem.
Signs You Might Have an Ant Infestation
-
Persistent trails of ants near food or water
-
Ants coming out of electrical outlets, cracks, or floorboards
-
Small dirt mounds around the garden or pavers
-
Rustling sounds in walls or hollow areas
-
Sweet, musty smells from hidden nests (in severe cases)
