Are Ants Invading Your Dartmouth Home or Business?
Ants might seem like harmless little creatures, but when they march into your Dartmouth home or business in their hundreds, they quickly become a real nuisance. From trails across your kitchen counters to colonies nesting in your walls, an ant infestation can be incredibly frustrating and even unhygienic. At Moorlander Pest Control, we understand how quickly these tiny pests can take over. With 20 years of experience tackling pest problems across Devon and Cornwall, we're your trusted local experts ready to help you reclaim your space.

Why Professional Ant Control is Essential for Effective Removal
You’ve probably tried every trick in the book – sprays, baits from the supermarket, even old wives' tales. But with ants, a DIY approach often fails to get to the root of the problem. Ants operate as a colony, and simply killing the ants you see won't stop the thousands more hidden within the nest. Our RSPH-qualified technicians at Moorlander Pest Control use professional-grade solutions and our extensive knowledge of ant behaviour to target the entire colony, including the queen, ensuring long-term eradication. We get to the source, not just the symptoms.
Thorough inspection to identify the ant species and locate nests.
Use of professional-grade insecticides & baits for effective results.
Targeted treatment for nests in kitchens, wall cavities, and gardens.

Who We Are
Our Tried-and-Tested Ant Treatment Process in Dartmouth
When you call Moorlander Pest Control for an ant problem in Dartmouth, we don't just jump straight to treatment. Our comprehensive approach ensures the most effective outcome:
- Thorough Inspection: We start with a meticulous inspection to identify the ant species, locate their entry points, foraging trails, and, crucially, pinpoint the main nest or nests.
- Targeted Treatment: Based on our findings, we apply professional-grade insecticides and baits that are specifically formulated to be highly attractive to ants, but also safe for use in residential and commercial environments when applied by our trained experts. These are far more potent and effective than anything you can buy over the counter.
- Proofing & Prevention Advice: We’ll also offer practical advice on how to prevent future ant invasions, such as sealing cracks and crevices, managing food waste, and maintaining a hygienic environment. Our goal is to provide a lasting solution, not just a quick fix.

01822 668338Common Ant Species in Devon and What They Mean for You
While most people just see 'ants', there are a few common species we encounter regularly in Devon and Cornwall, each with slightly different habits:
- Black Garden Ants (Lasius niger): These are the most common ants you'll see. They often nest outdoors under paving or in lawns but will forage indoors for sugary foods.
- Pharaoh Ants (Monomorium pharaonis): These tiny, yellowish ants are a serious problem, especially in places like hospitals or food premises, as they can spread pathogens. They nest indoors in warm, hidden places and are notoriously difficult to control without professional help due to their 'budding' behaviour.
- Ghost Ants (Tapinoma melanocephalum): Similar to Pharaoh ants in their small size and light colour, they prefer warm, humid environments and can be a particular nuisance in bathrooms and kitchens.
Understanding the species helps us tailor the most effective treatment plan for your Dartmouth property.
