An ant perimeter treatment puts a treated band around the outside of the home, where the walls meet the ground, so ants coming in from the yard cross it on their way inside. It suits Chermside homes that see ants arriving from several directions at once, or that get new trails every summer. We book a nearby independent crew who treats the outside edge of the house and the usual entry points.
The crew we book walks the whole outside of the home first. They look at where garden beds sit against the walls, where paths and driveways meet the slab, and where downpipes, taps, electricity boxes and cables pass through. These are the places ants use to get from the yard into the walls and then into the kitchen or bathroom.
- Treatment along the base of external walls and slab edges
- Door frames, window sills and weep holes
- Pipes, cables and electricity boxes where they enter the walls
- Garden beds and mulch hard up against the house
- Paths, patios and pergola posts close to the home
Perimeter work pairs well with treating any nests found in the yard, and many Chermside bookings include both. The crew also points out things you can change, like pulling mulch back from the walls or trimming plants that touch the house, which gives ants fewer bridges inside. Homes on sloping blocks or with retaining walls near the house often need a little more work on the uphill side, where most trails begin, and the crew will say if that applies to your place.
You get upfront pricing over the phone before anyone is booked, and the crew explains which parts of the outside they are treating and why. Call 07 3543 7769 to book an ant perimeter treatment for your home.
