Ant Control Sydney
Ant Control London: Professional Ant Removal & Treatment Ants in your home, flat, kitchen, bathroom, office, restaurant or commercial premises can quickly become frustrating. A few ants on a worktop may be the first visible sign of a much larger colony nearby, especially if ants are following the same trail repeatedly or appearing around food, sinks, skirting boards, doors, patios or service gaps. Effective ant control is not just about spraying the ants you can see. Long-term control depends on identifying the ant species, locating the nest or activity route, understanding what is attracting them, and using the correct treatment method.
One sighting usually means many more hidden
Ants are the number-one nuisance call we get in Sydney. They find a crumb or a spill, lay a pheromone trail, and within hours there's a highway across your kitchen. Spray the trail and you kill the few you can see — but the colony and its queen are untouched, so they're back the next day.
We treat ants properly: identify the species, follow the trail to the nest, and use slow-acting baits the workers carry home to the queen. That clears the colony at its source, and a perimeter barrier keeps the next one from moving in.
More than just a nuisance
Food contamination
Ants trail from drains, bins and gardens straight across your benches and into food, carrying bacteria with them.
Painful stings
Bull ants and jumper ants deliver a venomous sting that's genuinely painful and can cause allergic reactions.
They keep coming back
Pheromone trails and a hidden queen mean surface sprays fail — the colony just rebuilds the trail overnight.
Timber damage
Carpenter ants tunnel galleries through moist or damaged timber, quietly weakening it over time.

Types of ant we treat
Different ants want different things — some chase sugar, some bite, one even nests in your timber. Identifying the species is what makes the treatment actually stick..
From $129Black House Ant
Shiny black and tiny (2.5–3mm) — the most common household ant in Sydney. Trails to anything sweet or greasy and nests in walls, paths and gardens. Can carry bacteria from drains and bins onto food.
How we treat it
Colony baiting that targets the queen, so the trails don't simply return — not a surface spray that kills only the few you see.
From $129Coastal Brown Ant
Tiny light-brown ant (1.5–2.5mm) that leaves little piles of excavated soil along paths, walls and pavers. Nests in huge numbers and moves indoors fast for food.
How we treat it
Granular and gel baiting across the nest network, plus a perimeter barrier to stop reinvasion.
From $139Argentine Ant
Light-to-mid brown (2–3mm) forming massive interconnected ‘super-colonies’ with many queens. Aggressively displaces other ants and is very hard to clear with sprays.
How we treat it
Slow-acting bait carried back to the multiple queens, applied across the colony network over follow-up visits.
From $149Bull Ant
Large (up to 20mm+) and aggressive, with powerful jaws and a painful, venomous sting that can trigger allergic reactions. Nests in soil in lawns and gardens.
How we treat it
Direct nest treatment plus a perimeter barrier around play areas, paths and entry points.
From $149Carpenter Ant
Large black (or black-and-red) ant that nests in moist or damaged timber, hollowing it out — it doesn't eat the wood, but the galleries weaken it. A sign of underlying moisture.
How we treat it
Locate and treat the nest, treat the affected timber, and address the moisture that drew them in.
How we get rid of them
Identify & trace
We confirm the species and follow the trails back to the nest — the only way to treat the colony, not just the trail.
Colony baiting
Slow-acting bait the workers carry home to the queen, wiping out the colony from the inside.
Perimeter barrier
A residual barrier to entry points, paths and foundations to stop the next colony moving in.
Follow-up & warranty
We check back on stubborn colonies, all backed by our warranty.

Your questions, answered
Why do ants keep coming back after I spray?
Supermarket sprays kill the ants you can see but never reach the queen, and the colony simply lays a new trail. Baiting works because the ants carry it back to the nest, clearing the colony at its source.
Are ant treatments safe for kids and pets?
Yes. We use products approved for homes and place baits in cracks, voids and out-of-reach spots. People and pets just keep off treated surfaces until they're dry.
How long until the ants are gone?
You'll often see a change within days. Because baiting works through the whole colony, full control usually takes one to two weeks.
Do bull ants need a different approach?
Yes — bull ants are treated at the nest directly, and we lay a barrier around play areas and paths. Their sting is painful and can cause allergic reactions, so it's best left to us.
