Brisbane Northside Ant Infestations

Brisbane’s Northside, encompassing suburbs like Ashgrove, North Lakes, Caboolture, Bracken Ridge, and Kedron, frequently experiences ant infestations due to its warm, humid climate and lush vegetation. These conditions create an ideal environment for various ant species to thrive, and each species poses different challenges. Our local pest control experts understand Northside ants inside-out and use targeted treatments to keep your home safe. Here are the most common types of ants in the region and a special mention for a nasty invader.

• Black House Ants (Sugar Ants) – Tiny dark brown ants (2–3 mm) frequently seen trailing on kitchen benches and cupboards. They nest indoors in wall cavities, roof spaces and electrical voids. Though they don’t sting or bite in a harmful way, they forage for sweets and easily contaminate food, causing hygiene issues. A large indoor population can attract other pests and requires professional baiting to eliminate the colony safely.
• Coastal Brown (Big-Headed) Ants – A golden-brown invasive ant (Pheidole megacephala) imported from Africa. These ants nest in soil and mulch around foundations. They form massive multi-queen “super-colonies” that disrupt soil structure and can even undermine garden beds or foundations. Coastal browns are common in areas of North Brisbane. Their stings are mild and generally not felt by people, but their sheer numbers make them hard to control and they will outcompete most other ants in the yard.
• Green-Head (Bull) Ants – These large (5–7 mm) shiny black ants with a green sheen nest in lawns and gardens. They are known for delivering painful stings. A bite or sting from a green-head ant can cause intense pain, persistent itching and even severe allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. They typically nest under logs or in soil in yards, so anyone with children or pets should be cautious around their colonies. We treat green ants quickly to protect your family’s safety, using targeted removals of the yard nests.
• Funnel Ants – Small native ants (genus Aphaenogaster) that dig conical funnel-shaped mounds all over lawns. Funnel ants create hundreds of little craters (funnels) in turf as they tunnel. These antennas form interconnected nests, essentially a super-colony across your yard. Funnel ants aren’t very aggressive, but their workers will sting defensively if the nest is disturbed. The main problem is the lawn damage. In heavy funnel ant infestations, soil can begin to subside with the uneven surface not just unsightly for commercial property but also creating trip hazards. Because Brisbane’s rain and climate favour funnel ants, they are a frequent Northside pest in lawns and sports fields.
• Fire Ants – These menaces get a mention for completeness, as they are thankfully not widespread. Red fire ants are a regulated, highly invasive pest in South East Queensland. Their bites and stings are extremely painful and can cause anaphylaxis. If fire ants are found, Queensland authorities must be notified immediately
