Why We Service North Lakes
North Lakes is a fast growing, master-planned suburb in Moreton Bay, and new suburbs like it are exactly where fire ants take hold. Fire ants have pushed north into the region, and a community full of new homes, fresh turf, landscaped parks and ongoing construction gives them plenty of open, disturbed ground to nest in.
Most fire ants arrive in a new suburb by hitching a ride. Soil, turf, mulch, potted plants and landscaping supplies come in by the truckload when estates are built and homes are landscaped, and fire ants can travel in all of them. Once they are established in one yard or park, they spread to the next.
The lakes, parklands, playgrounds and sports fields that make North Lakes a good place for families also make fire ants a real concern. Their nests are low, flat and easy to miss in mown grass, and children playing barefoot are among the people most often stung.
We service North Lakes and the surrounding suburbs, including Mango Hill, Deception Bay, Narangba, Burpengary and Redcliffe. Our work covers family homes, schools, childcare centres, sporting grounds, shops and business premises, and new building sites. Active nests are treated with licensed direct nest injection, which kills the queen and the colony at the source, and we add baiting where there are several nests or a larger area to cover.
If you have spotted a suspected nest in your North Lakes yard, or on a site you manage, report it within 24 hours and call us to have it dealt with quickly.
More On North Lakes
Most North Lakes homes have lawns, garden beds and paths that are only a few years old, and that is where fire ants usually turn up. Knowing what to look for makes a big difference.
Check the sunny, open parts of the yard first: the lawn, the edges of garden beds, along fences and beside paths and driveways. Queensland fire ant nests are usually low and flat, often just a patch of loose soil with no entry hole on top, and some show no mound at all. If ants pour out aggressively when the soil is disturbed, treat it as suspected fire ants.
Don't try to dig the nest out, flood it or knock it down. Disturbing a nest makes the ants swarm and sting, and treatments work best on mounds that have not been disturbed. Keep children and pets away from the area, report it within 24 hours and arrange treatment.
For pet owners, fire ants are a real worry. A dog that digs or sniffs at a nest can be stung many times in seconds. Licensed treatment is targeted at the nests themselves, and we schedule the work and give you clear advice on keeping pets and children away from treated areas.
Fire ants also matter if you plan to sell. An active infestation found during a sale can delay settlement or lead to renegotiation on price, and a lawn can be badly damaged within a single season. Treating early, and keeping a record of the treatment, avoids those surprises.
If you live in North Lakes and you're not sure whether you have fire ants, book an inspection. We will confirm what you have and explain exactly what needs to happen next.
