Why Sydney Homes Choose Redback for Ant Control

Sydney has dozens of ant species, and treating them all the same way is exactly why supermarket sprays fail. Spraying scatters the colony and makes the problem worse. Our technicians identify the species first (black house, coastal brown, sugar, Argentine, carpenter or pharaoh ants), then choose a non-repellent product or bait that the foragers carry back to the queen. That's how you eliminate the colony — not just the trail you can see.

Every treatment is delivered by a fully licensed, NSW EPA-registered Redback technician — never a subcontractor. We've been protecting Sydney homes and businesses for over 30 years and carry $20M public liability cover.

Booking is easy: get a fixed written price up front, choose a time that suits you (including Saturdays), and receive a digital service report with everything we used, treated and recommend. Same-week service is standard across Sydney, the Central Coast and Wollongong.

Signs of a Ant Problem

If you're seeing one or more of these signs, it's time to book a treatment. The earlier we get on top of activity, the less product we need to use and the faster you get your home back.

✓Trails of ants along benches, skirting or paths
✓Small piles of fine soil near pavers or driveways
✓Winged ants (alates) around windows in spring
✓Ants swarming pet food or sweet spills
✓Wood shavings near skirting (carpenter ants)

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does a ant treatment take?

Most residential ant treatments take 45–90 minutes depending on the size of the home and the level of activity. We'll confirm the timing when we book the job.

Is the treatment safe for kids and pets?

Yes. We use only APVMA-registered, low-toxicity products applied by licensed technicians. Treated areas are typically safe to re-enter once dry — usually within 1–2 hours.

Will I see dead ants after the treatment?

It's normal to see increased activity for the first 7–14 days as the product flushes them out of harbourage. After that, activity drops off sharply.

Do you offer a warranty?

All ant treatments are backed by a 6-month service warranty. If the colony bounces back, we re-treat free.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. Quotes are fixed in advance, with no hidden call-out or travel fees across Sydney metro, Central Coast and Wollongong.
