Ants around Maroochydore are busy almost all year, and every decent storm sends a fresh wave of them indoors as nests in the garden and under paving flood out. A trail heading for the fruit bowl or the pet food is often just foraging, but a nest close to the slab or inside a wall cavity can keep sending trails back no matter how often you wipe the bench down.
Tell us what you are seeing when you call 07 3543 7773, including where the trail starts and ends if you can tell, and whether it started after rain. The crew we book will look along skirting boards, around door and window frames, under sinks and outside near paving, garden beds, retaining walls and the base of the walls, since that is where nests around Maroochydore tend to sit.
Coastal sandy soil suits a lot of ant species, and units near the beach see trails along balconies and window frames just as often as houses see them in the kitchen. Once the crew has looked at where trails start and end, they can point out what is drawing the ants in, such as a dripping tap, a pet bowl or a bin left open, so the same trail does not keep reappearing once the visit is done.
