Ant Pest Control in Sydney
Ant infestations are one of the most common — and frustrating — problems for Sydney homeowners. While over-the-counter sprays might seem like a quick fix, they often make the situation worse. Most store-bought ant control products are repellents, which ants detect and avoid. They may kill a few ants on contact, but they do not reach the heart of the problem — the nest.
That’s why at So Pest Off, we only use non-repellent ant control products. These professional-grade treatments are undetectable to ants. They walk through the treated zones, carry the active ingredients back to the nest, and spread it through the colony — including to the queen. This method allows us to eliminate the infestation at its source and ensure long-term results.
How Our Ant Control Service Works
Ant control requires precision and a clear understanding of ant behaviour.
Different species need different strategies, and our process begins with a detailed inspection of your home and surrounding areas.
We identify foraging trails, nesting zones, and entry points. Then, based on the ant species and food preferences — whether sugar or protein feeders, we create a treatment plan using a combination of gel baiting, targeted sprays, and colony eradication methods.
Our approach includes:
- Professional inspection and species identification
- Non-repellent chemical treatments that ants cannot detect
- Targeted gel baiting to reach hidden nests and the queen
- Optional ant nest treatment systems for high-activity areas
- Ongoing monitoring and prevention plans to stop re-infestation
This is an integrated pest management program that balances chemical and non-chemical solutions to minimise product use and maximise safety.
Just like our termite control strategies, we focus on disrupting the colony, not just killing the ants you can see.

The Treatment Process For Ants
We follow set methods when tackling difficult to eradicate pests.
After Treatment
Following your ant treatment, you may still notice some activity for a few days as ants continue to carry the bait back to the nest. This is a good sign as it means the treatment is working.
1
Ant Inspection
Not all ants are a cause for concern, but if you notice steady trails coming from windows, cracks, power points or ceiling lights, it’s time to act quickly. A professional inspection helps us identify the type of ant, locate entry points and determine whether the issue is isolated or part of a larger infestation. This ensures we apply the right treatment strategy from the start.
2
Ant Treatment Plan
If only a few surface ants are found and no underlying colony is suspected, we proceed with a general pest control treatment. For heavier infestations where the nest isn’t visible, we use a two-step approach — applying gel bait followed by a general pest spray. If an active ant nest is located, we flush it with a high-grade treatment, similar to termite control, before baiting and spraying to remove all activity.
3
Ant Baiting Strategy
The baiting process involves applying clear, targeted gel around the external perimeter of your home. Within minutes, ants begin to collect the bait and carry it back to the colony — directly to the queen. This method destroys the colony from within. After a few days, we return to complete the treatment with a general pest control spray that eliminates remaining surface ants.
4
Ongoing Monitoring and Prevention
We recommend a follow-up inspection and external spray around three months after the initial treatment. Even after a nest is eliminated, a few ants may remain in search of new shelter. Your technician may also recommend enhancing existing termite stations or installing a perimeter barrier, as the same treatment principles apply to ants and termites.
Common Ant Species Found in Sydney Homes
Not all ants behave the same and different species require different treatment methods. Sydney is home to several ant varieties that can invade kitchens, bathrooms, yards and even walls.
Here’s a quick overview of the most common species we treat:
Black House Ant (Ochetellus glaber)
A small black ant often found in kitchens and around sinks. They’re attracted to sweet foods and moisture. These ants build nests in wall cavities, roof voids or even behind tiles, making them difficult to treat with sprays alone.
Coastal Brown Ant (Pheidole megacephala)
Also known as the big-headed ant, they prefer protein over sugar. They often nest in soil, under pavers and within walls. They can displace other native ants and become a major structural pest if left untreated.
Argentine Ant (Linepithema humile)
A highly invasive species known for forming supercolonies. These ants travel far from their nest and can build massive populations inside wall voids, gardens and kitchens. Traditional repellents are often useless against them.
Funnel Ants (Aphaenogaster longiceps)
Found mostly in lawns and garden beds, these ants form distinctive cone-shaped holes in soil. They rarely invade homes but can damage turf and make walking areas uneven and unsafe.
Green Head Ant (Rhytidoponera metallica)
A native ant with a metallic green sheen and a painful sting. Often found in gardens and outdoor areas, they are aggressive and can become a nuisance near patios or driveways.
Why Species Identification Matters
Correctly identifying the ant species is essential for long-term control. Some ants are sugar feeders, while others prefer proteins or fats and each species nests in different areas.
Our licensed technicians inspect for entry points, nesting locations, and foraging trails to determine the most effective treatment based on the ant type and activity level.
