Expert Ant Control for Your Callington Property
Finding ants marching across your kitchen surfaces or through your living room can be incredibly frustrating. While often seen as harmless, a full-blown ant infestation in your Callington home or business is more than just an annoyance. They can contaminate food, damage property, and some species can even carry bacteria. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand the specific challenges posed by ants in Devon and Cornwall. With 20 years of hands-on experience, our local, independent team offers effective, lasting solutions to get rid of ants and keep them from returning.

Why DIY Ant Control Often Falls Short
Many people try to tackle ant problems themselves with supermarket sprays or baits. While these might deal with a few visible ants, they rarely address the root of the problem: the main nest, which could be hidden in walls, under floors, or even outside your property. Ants lay down scent trails that attract thousands more. Without professional knowledge, specialist equipment, and potent, targeted insecticides, you’re often just treating the symptoms, leading to recurring infestations. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians are trained to identify the exact species of ant, locate the nest, and apply professional-grade treatments that truly work.

Who We Are
How Moorlander Solves Your Ant Problem in Callington
Our approach to ant control is thorough and effective. First, we carry out a detailed inspection of your property to identify the ant species, pinpoint entry points, and locate the main nesting sites. This crucial step allows us to develop a tailored treatment plan. We typically use a combination of highly attractive ant baits that the worker ants take back to the nest, eliminating the colony from within. For active trails or specific areas, we might also use targeted insecticidal sprays or dusts. We don't just clear the immediate problem; we also offer practical advice on proofing your property to prevent future infestations.

01822 668338Identifying Ant Problems in Your Callington Property
The most common ant you’ll likely see in Callington is the black garden ant, often found trailing across kitchen counters or patios in search of food. Look out for distinct trails of ants, especially near food sources, in bathrooms, or around skirting boards. You might also spot a nest, often appearing as a small mound of excavated soil near foundations or paving. Less commonly, you might encounter flying ants during their mating season, or even the more problematic Pharaoh ants indoors, which can be tiny and light brown. If you're unsure what type of ant you have, our expert team can provide a precise identification during our site visit.

01822 668338Expert Advice to Prevent Future Ant Problems
Once we've eradicated the current ant infestation, we’ll equip you with valuable advice to help prevent their return. Simple steps can make a big difference: keeping food preparation areas clean and free of crumbs, storing food in sealed containers, and regularly emptying bins. Sealing cracks and crevices in foundations, around windows, and where pipes enter your home can block common entry points. Fixing leaky taps or pipes also removes crucial water sources for ants. By following our recommendations, you can significantly reduce the chances of another ant invasion.
