Coastal brown ants are one of the most common ants around Brisbane. They are small, light to dark brown, and the colony includes larger soldier ants with big heads. The easiest sign is small piles of fine soil pushed up along paths, between pavers, at the edge of the slab and even along skirting boards inside the house. Many people first mistake the soil piles for dirt blown in from outside.
These ants form large colonies with many queens, and nests can link up across a whole yard. That is why spraying one mound rarely makes much difference. Inside the house they often come up where the floor meets the wall or through cracked tile grout. The crew we book treats the problem across the property, using baits the workers carry home and treatments along the slab edges and paths where the ants are most active.

Coastal brown ants can switch between sweet and protein foods, so the crew may use more than one bait type. You might see soil piles for a little while after the visit as the colony dies back. If you notice activity picking up again, call us and we can pass the details to the crew.
