Northern Rivers Funnel Ant Treatment
Funnel ants can turn a healthy-looking lawn into a bumpy, crumbling mess almost overnight. At Allied Pest Management, we know how frustrating it is to see perfectly level ground riddled with holes—and even worse, how easily these ants can cause twisted ankles, vehicle damage or trip hazards.
Based right here in the Northern Rivers, we use targeted ground treatments to reach funnel ant colonies beneath the surface, stopping them from rebuilding and protecting your outdoor areas for longer. These ants are stubborn, but so are we—and we treat every yard like it’s our own.
We also offer general pest management, spider pest control and termite inspections if you're looking for broader protection. For expert funnel ant treatments, give us a call today on (02) 6629 6012—we’ll get your lawn back under control.
How We Treat Funnel Ant Infestations
We take funnel ant problems seriously because we know the damage they can cause. Our treatment starts with a property inspection to pinpoint activity, followed by a professional-grade surface application that soaks deep into the soil and reaches the colony underground. The goal isn’t just to wipe out visible ants—it’s to stop the next generation before it starts.
- Professional insecticides applied to lawns & ant hotspots
- Treatments designed to reach deep underground colonies
- Ideal for lawns, paddocks, parks, driveways & workyards
- Long-lasting results with minimal disruption to your property
- Advice for maintaining funnel ant-free zones year-round
When ants threaten your outdoor space, we’re the team that gets the job done properly. Our treatments are efficient, effective and delivered with care. Let’s protect your ground from the ground up.
What are funnel ants & why are they a problem?
Funnel ants are a type of ground-dwelling ant known for building cone-shaped nests in lawns and soil. While they don’t typically enter homes, they can severely damage turf and make the ground unstable, which is especially dangerous for children, pets, and vehicles. Their nests can make mowing difficult and cause issues on golf courses, driveways, and other open areas.
How are funnel ants treated by pest professionals?
Treatments usually involve applying a specialised insecticide to the soil that targets the ant colony underground. Depending on the size and number of nests, the product may be applied as a spray, drench, or granule. The goal is to eliminate the queen and disrupt the colony. Results can take a few weeks, and in some cases, repeat treatments are needed to prevent reinfestation.
Will funnel ants come back after treatment?
Funnel ant infestations can return if environmental conditions remain favourable, particularly after heavy rain. Professional treatments significantly reduce their presence, but because the ants live underground, occasional follow-ups may be required. Maintaining healthy turf and monitoring for new nest activity can help reduce the risk of reinfestation. Regular treatments are recommended for properties in high-risk areas or with recurring issues.
