Ants Control
Targeted treatments to remove ant colonies and prevent future invasions.
Understanding the Problem
The most common ant to cause issues inside UK homes is the Black Garden Ant (Lasius niger). They typically nest outside but send worker ants inside to forage for food.
While not a major health risk, ants can be a significant nuisance, contaminating food and surfaces. A large infestation can be very difficult to control with DIY products.
Common Signs of Infestation
Seeing a few ants might not seem like a problem, but it can escalate. Look for:
Trails of ants, particularly in the kitchen or near food sources.
Small piles of fine soil or sand, indicating a nest entrance (often outside).
Ants in cupboards, sugar bowls, or other food containers.
Winged 'flying ants' emerging from walls or floors in summer.
Pavement or patio stones that have been undermined with excavated soil.
Sticky residues on surfaces from the honeydew they farm from aphids.
Why Professional Extermination is Important
To solve an ant problem for good, you need to destroy the nest. This is where professionals excel.
Targets the Queen & Nest
DIY sprays only kill the worker ants you see. We use professional baits that worker ants carry back to the nest, which eliminates the entire colony, including the queen.
More Potent & Effective
The insecticides we use are more advanced and effective than anything available to the public, providing a faster and more reliable solution.
Long-Lasting Results
By destroying the nest, we provide a long-term solution, not just a temporary fix. We also offer advice on how to prevent them from returning next season.
Our Treatment Approach
Our ant control treatment focuses on eliminating the source of the problem.
1. Inspection & Identification
We identify the ant species and trace their trails to locate the nest or their main entry points into your property.
2. Professional Baiting & Spraying
We apply a combination of professional-grade gel baits along ant trails and may use a residual insecticide spray around entry points for comprehensive control.
3. Colony Eradication
The treatment is designed to be carried back to the nest by the worker ants, ensuring the entire colony is eradicated within a few days.
4. Prevention Advice
We provide practical advice on food storage, cleaning, and sealing potential entry points to minimise the risk of future infestations.
