Ant Pest Control Grafton
Ant Pest Control Grafton Solutions
Ant pest control Grafton is a service we deliver every week — because once ants move in, they can be hard to remove without the right tools and techniques. Whether you’re seeing them in your kitchen, trailing along bathroom tiles, or building mounds in your garden, these tiny invaders can become a major problem fast.
If ants keep showing up no matter how clean your space is, you likely have a nest hidden somewhere inside or nearby. At Detecta Pest, we don’t just treat what you see — we find the source and eliminate it completely.
Why Ants Are More Than Just a Nuisance
Ants might seem harmless, but they can:
- Contaminate food
- Nest in walls, ceilings, and garden beds
- Bite or sting, depending on the species
- Damage electrical equipment
- Multiply rapidly — some colonies number in the thousands
You may kill a few ants with surface spray, but that won’t reach the queen or the rest of the colony. Many ants will simply reroute their trail and reappear days later — often in greater numbers.

What Do These Ants Look Like?
Grafton is home to several common ant species. Here’s how to spot them:
Black House Ant
Small (2.5–3 mm), shiny and black. Commonly seen in kitchens and bathrooms, trailing in straight lines. They’re mostly after sugar and moisture.
White-Footed House Ant
Medium-sized (2.5–3 mm), dark body with pale legs. They form massive colonies and often appear in long trails outside or on kitchen benches.
Green-Head Ant (Green Ant)
Larger (5–7 mm), metallic green head with a darker body. Found in lawns or cracks in paving. Known for painful bites and fast movements.
Carpenter Ant
Large (6–12 mm), dark brown or black with a smooth, rounded thorax. Often found in timber or damp areas where wood is soft. They tunnel into wood, potentially causing damage over time.
Coastal Brown Ant (Big-Headed Ant)
Small (2–3 mm), golden brown to dark brown. Notable for having larger heads on certain worker ants. Builds mounds near concrete, driveways, or pavers.
Knowing what species you’re dealing with helps us choose the most effective treatment — and avoid wasting time on the wrong approach.
Our Process: How We Get Rid of Ants
Commercial Ant Pest Control
At Detecta Pest, we follow a professional step-by-step method to ensure long-lasting results:
- Property Inspection
We assess your home or business to identify the ant species, trail paths, food sources, and nest locations. We also inspect external areas like garden beds, retaining walls, and footpaths. - Treatment Selection
Based on the species and nest location, we use the most suitable method. This may include:- Gel baiting (especially for sweet-seeking ants)
- Dusting into wall cavities or roof spaces
- Granular baits around gardens and lawns
- Perimeter sprays to block access points
- Gel baiting (especially for sweet-seeking ants)
- Nest Elimination
Our treatments target the entire colony, including the queen. Without the queen, the colony cannot survive. - Prevention Advice
We show you how to reduce attractants — like moisture, crumbs, or pet food left out — and seal off common entry points.
Most treatments are low-odour, pet-safe, and leave no visible mess. In many cases, you’ll see results within 24–48 hours.
