Funnel Ants Treatment Brisbane
Have funnel ants taken over your lawn? The unsightly mounds they leave on your lawn and uneven ground conditions can affect the use of the ground in this area.
Funnel ants in Queensland are a common problem due to our sub-tropical climate and high levels of rainfall. But you don’t have to tolerate these pests taking over your property.
Blue Chip Termite and Pest Control have years of experience dealing with these pests. Our funnel ants treatment will rid your backyard of funnel ants and protect your family and living space in Brisbane.
SIGNS OF FUNNEL ANTS IN YOUR LAWN
Funnel ants in Brisbane aren’t a surprising sight. These pests prefer areas with moist soil, which makes the lawns in Brisbane a target. Some signs that funnel ants have taken up residence on your lawn include:
ANT MOUNDS IN YOUR YARD
One of the most evident signs of a funnel ant infestation is the hundreds of cone-shaped mounds of dirt all over your lawns. These ant mounds are part of an integrated nest network where all the small colonies join together to form a super colony.
INCREASED ANT ACTIVITY
These types of ants are not active during the day. Funnel ants are most active in the late afternoon and nighttime.
SOIL DISTURBANCE
Displaced soil in your backyard or debris in unusual places are often signs of funnel ants on the move.

Blue Chip’s Funnel Ants Treatment
At Blue Chip, we carry out our funnel ants treatment with a chemical spray that we apply directly to each mound. It takes us between 60-90 minutes to complete a full treatment of your lawn, and during that time, we make sure that every nest gets sprayed.
We use quality treatments to get rid of funnel ants in your lawn. We use a non-repellent-based transfer chemical for funnel ants and their nests. A high-pressure pump on the back of our vehicles allows us to spray the mounds at 100 PSI to ensure the chemical penetrates the mounds as the UV from the sun reduces the life of the chemical. Getting the chemical into the soil improves both the treatment’s effectiveness and the chemical’s life. Our treatment and methods usually reduce ant mounds by at least 98%. A second treatment may be necessary in badly infested lawns, but for 90% of our treatments, one service is all that is needed.
Our treatment generally keeps your yard free from funnel ants, even when tell-tale mounds continue to linger in your neighbour’s yards. A lot of our customers never have them back. Our funnel ant treatment in Brisbane works best when there is at least one week of dry weather after the treatment.
WHY YOU NEED TO GET RID OF FUNNEL ANTS IN YOUR LAWN
There are several reasons why you should get rid of the funnel ants in your lawn before they cause long-term damage. Funnel ants build nests all over the place that can damage the root system of your lawn. They often build networks of complex tunnels beneath the dirt that cause the soil structure to weaken and collapse. You may not realise the extent of the damage until you’re mowing the lawn or kicking a ball around, and you slip and injure your knee or ankle due to the uneven ground.

-
What is needed before a treatment?
There must be at least one week of dry weather, and the lawn must be cut a few days before the treatment.
-
Is the chemical dangerous to children/pets?
Kids and pets must be kept away while the treatment is happening and for about one hour afterwards to allow the chemical to dry.
-
What is the difference between store-bought chemicals and the products you use?
- Store-bought chemicals are classed as repellent chemicals, which means they will have little effect on the main ant colony underground. The funnel ants will come back after the chemical wears off.
- Our chemicals are non-repellent transfer chemicals that the ants cannot sense. They are designed to be slow-acting, allowing the ants to spread the chemical deep within the nest on their bodies.
-
Will the spray kill my grass and/or plants?
No, it does not affect these areas.
-
How many treatments will be needed?
In 90% of our treatments, only one spray is needed.
