Ant control
Professional ant control for homes, landlords and businesses, with clear advice and a quotation before any work starts.
Black garden ants often march into kitchens in spring and summer looking for sweet food. Pharaoh ants are smaller, pale and live indoors all year, often in heated buildings such as flats, hospitals and care homes.
The right treatment depends on the species. Spraying Pharaoh ants, for example, can cause the colony to split and spread, so we identify the ant before treating.
Signs to look out for
- Trails of ants along skirting boards, worktops or patio doors
- Small piles of soil next to paving or brickwork
- Flying ants appearing on warm, humid days
- Tiny pale ants around warm pipes and kitchens
How we deal with it
Identification
We confirm the species and trace the trail back towards the nest.
Treatment
We treat entry points and nests with professional insecticide, or use bait for species where spraying would make the problem worse.
Advice
We give practical advice to stop ants being attracted back into the property.
Wipe up sugary spills, keep food sealed and seal gaps around patio doors and skirting where trails appear.
Questions about ant control
Why do the ants keep coming back every year?
Garden ant nests are often under paving or lawns outside. Treating the entry points and nest area reduces the chance of a repeat.
