Inspection and mapping
A technician checks where ants are active, then traces common trails back to entry points, moisture sources, and potential harbourage areas.
If ants are marching across your kitchen bench or gathering near doors, skirting boards, or window frames, 24 Hour Pest Control Sydney can help you stop the problem by treating where ants travel and where colonies are established.
Ants often show up where they can find food and moisture, and then recruit more ants from their nest. Reducing that activity means addressing the cause, not only wiping up the visible ants.
