Ants in a Manly garden are usually more of a nuisance than a real problem, but once a trail heads indoors toward the kitchen or bathroom, most people want it dealt with properly rather than just wiped away each morning. Trails along skirting boards, around window frames or across paving are the usual sign that a nest is close by, either in the garden or somewhere within the structure of the house.
The crew traces the trail back toward its source where they can, checking garden beds, paving, wall cavities and areas around the foundations. Different ant species behave differently, and a nest that is disturbed the wrong way can split into several smaller ones, so the approach depends on what is actually found rather than one fixed treatment for every job.
Bait suited to the species is usually the starting point, since ants carry it back to the nest themselves, which deals with the source rather than just the ants you can see. The crew will also point out anything around the Manly property, such as mulch against the house or a leaking tap, that tends to attract ants back in once the first round has worked through.
Paved areas and driveways can be their own problem, since ants often nest under slabs and pavers where it is dry and hard to reach directly. In these spots the crew may need to treat along expansion joints and edges rather than the paving itself, and will explain why that approach works better for a Manly driveway or patio.
