Ant baiting is one of the main tools the crews we book use in Brisbane homes. Instead of killing the ants you see, a bait is designed to be picked up by worker ants and carried back to the nest, where it is shared with other workers, larvae and the queen. That is how it reaches the part of the colony you never see.
Different ants want different food, and their tastes can change with the season. Some prefer sugar, others want protein or oil. The crew we book watches how the ants respond and picks the bait to match, sometimes placing more than one kind. Placement matters as much as the bait itself. Gels go into cracks, cupboards and along trails indoors, while granules and bait stations suit gardens, paths and pavers.

The most important thing after baiting is patience. Do not spray over the bait or wipe the trail away for a few days. You may see more ants at first, which is a sign they are feeding. Keep other food sealed so the bait is the most tempting option. Most homes see numbers fall within one to two weeks, and the crew will tell you what to look for.
