A perimeter ant spray treats a band around the outside of your home so ants crossing it pick up the product. It is a barrier of sorts, but it works well only when the nest is also dealt with. It is often used together with baits, especially in Brisbane homes where ants keep walking in from the garden. The crew we book looks at where the ants are coming from before deciding where the band should go.
On a house on stumps, that might mean the stumps, the lattice line and the base of the stairs. On a slab home, the crew treats the slab edge, weep holes, door frames and the gaps around pipes and cables. They also pay attention to garden beds that touch the walls, since these give ants a bridge into the house.
- Spray around walls, slab edges and stumps
- Treatment around doors, windows, weep holes and pipes
- Checks for plants, mulch and fences touching the home
- Spot treatment of nests found during the visit
- Timing advice for rain and watering after the spray
Heavy rain and garden watering can wash some of the spray away, so the crew may suggest holding off on the hose for a day or so. They will also tell you how long to keep kids and pets off the treated area. A perimeter spray on its own will not fix a nest already living inside a wall, which is why the crew may combine it with baits or dust.
