Re: Australia habitat?
Somewhere outside. I may try Cresta's Mortein solution below.
I have discovered they now have a predilection for my scented toilet paper and are all over the roll. 
It's a bit annoying when you need the loo and have to de-ant the loo roll first.
You're wasting your time spraying, that just kills the ones in the house. They breed faster than you can spray. To eliminate them, if that's what you want to do, you need to put bait down that they take back to the nest. It will kill the whole nest. That or the mortien spray it comes in a bulk pack with a spray thingo attached & you do the full house perimeter. Mortein - innovative, effective and easy to use pest control products

Our pest control mate brings around a puffer full of white powder, you find the nest, puff the stuff down it and it kills the whole colony.

My bath is tiled and there is a tiny bit of grout missing from one on the edges, leaving a hole, there was loads of them coming out of there. I'll get some stuff for them today.
Cheers!

Re: Australia habitat?
We had the same but they kept coming back. Solved it by ramming a tiny piece of white tack in the hole. If you can't deter them; close the door.

The little blighters used to come back every few days after spraying but the tack solved it.

Re: Australia habitat?
That's a good idea about the tack, not so sure about the door.
I went to bunnings and got armed up to the hilt with AntRid pest spray for outside and other bits and bats, they haven't been back yet, touch wood.

Just been for a walk with the family in Lakes Entrance and just seen Dolphins at play and seals chillin' in the wild. Just beautiful. 
I'll get the pictures on when I get back home next week.

There's been a lot of kangeroos about on my drive to / from work. Seeing them all in the fields makes me smile - big kid at heart I think

There's something really special about seeing nature in its own habitat isn't there? Funnily enough I haven't seen a roo since I've been here, hopefully I'll see one this week
