Ants enter buildings through small entry points in search of sweet foods, crumbs, and water.
If you’re unsure whether the problem is limited to ants, our professional pest inspection can identify the source of the infestation and recommend the most effective treatment.
The Black Garden Ant is the most common ant species in the UK. These ants often build their nests in dry soil, lawns, paving, and near buildings. They are attracted to sugary foods and often cause ant problems indoors.
Flying ants are reproductive ants that leave the nest during Flying Ant Day to mate and create new colonies. Large swarms indoors are a sign that a nearby ant colony may be established in or around your property.
Pharaoh Ants are small, yellowish ants that do well in warm indoor places like hospitals, restaurants, and apartment buildings. They can spread quickly because colonies may contain multiple queens.
Also known as the biting ant, red ants are commonly found in gardens and under stones. They can become a nuisance when they invade outdoor seating or play areas.
01
A qualified pest controller inspects your property to identify the species, nesting sites, and entry points.
02
We determine whether you have Lasius niger, Pharaoh Ants, flying ants, or another species.
03
We follow ant trails to locate hidden nests and assess the size of the infestation.
04
We apply the most effective ant treatment for your situation, including gel bait, ant sprays, ant dusts, or direct nest treatment.
05
Our goal is to eliminate the entire colony, including the queen ant, not just the ants you can see.
We use professional ant bait and bait stations to target worker ants. The bait is carried back to the nest, helping with colony elimination.
Our surface sprays form a lasting barrier around window sills, door frames, skirting boards, and other entry points.
Ant dust works well for treating nests in the wall and roof spaces, as well as other hard-to-reach areas.
Where possible, we treat the ant nest directly to get the fastest and most effective results.
