There's nothing quite like the sight of a trail of ants marching across your kitchen floor or taking over your patio to instantly spoil your day.

If you're based in Crediton or the surrounding Devon area and dealing with an ant infestation, Moorlander Pest Control is here to help. With 20 years of hands-on experience in tackling all sorts of pests, we understand how frustrating these little invaders can be, and we're ready to get your home or business ant-free.

Why Professional Ant Control is Your Best Bet
You might have tried the DIY sprays and powders from the supermarket, only to find the ants return, sometimes in even greater numbers. This is because effective ant control needs more than just treating the ants you see. Ants live in complex colonies, often hidden away, and simply killing visible workers won't deal with the nest, the queen, or the thousands of eggs waiting to hatch. Our professional approach at Moorlander Pest Control goes beyond surface treatments. As BPCA affiliated members and with RSPH Level 2 qualifications, our team is trained to identify the specific ant species, locate their nesting sites, and apply targeted, professional-grade treatments that are far more effective and longer-lasting than anything you can buy over the counter. We’ll get to the root of the problem, keeping your home and family safe.

Who We Are
Our Proven Process for Effective Ant Eradication
When you call Moorlander Pest Control for ant issues in Crediton, you're getting a thorough, systematic approach. Our process typically involves:
- Detailed Inspection: Our RSPH-qualified technician will carry out a comprehensive inspection of your property to identify the type of ant, locate their entry points, foraging trails, and potential nesting sites. This crucial step helps us understand the full extent of the infestation.
- Targeted Treatment Plan: Based on our findings, we'll implement a tailored treatment. This often involves the precise application of professional insecticides, baits, or dusts designed to be highly attractive to ants, which they then carry back to their colony, effectively eradicating the entire nest.
- Ant Proofing Advice: We don't just get rid of the current problem; we help prevent future ones. We'll offer practical advice on how to seal cracks and crevices, remove food sources, and make your property less appealing to ants. Our goal is a long-term solution so you can relax knowing your home is protected.

01822 668338Common Ant Invaders We Deal With in Devon
While there are many species of ants, the ones commonly causing problems in homes and businesses across Devon, including Crediton, are typically:
- Black Garden Ants: These are the most common nuisance ants in the UK. You’ll often see them foraging for food indoors, particularly sweet substances.
- Pharaoh Ants: These tiny, light brown ants are a particular challenge as they can establish multiple colonies within a building and are notoriously difficult to eradicate without professional help. They pose a significant hygiene risk, especially in food-handling businesses or healthcare settings.
- Ghost Ants: Even smaller and paler than Pharaoh Ants, they are increasingly common and can be tricky to spot. They can also establish nests in unusual places.
Our 20 years of experience means we know the behaviour of these different species and the best way to tackle each one, ensuring a successful outcome for your property.

01822 668338Signs You Might Need Professional Ant Control
Sometimes, it’s not just a single ant on the counter; it’s a sign of a much bigger issue. Look out for these common indicators that you might have a hidden ant problem and need expert help:
- Visible Ant Trails: The most obvious sign is seeing a distinct trail of ants, especially in your kitchen or pantry, as they forage for food.
- Nesting Sites: Small mounds of soil or finely chewed wood can indicate ant nests in your garden, under paving, or even within wall cavities.
- Contaminated Food: Ants will quickly get into open food packets, pet food, or spilled sugary drinks.
- Structural Damage: While less common for typical garden ants, some species can cause damage by excavating nests within wooden structures.
If you spot any of these signs, don't leave it to chance. A swift and professional inspection from Moorlander Pest Control can prevent a small issue from becoming a large-scale infestation.
