Why Ants Become a Nuisance in Your Home
Ants, particularly the common black garden ant (Lasius niger), are driven by a constant search for food and water. They are highly efficient foragers, often entering properties through tiny cracks and crevices in foundations, walls, or around pipes. Once they find a food source, they lay down a pheromone trail, guiding thousands of their colony members directly into your home. This can lead to food contamination, unsightly trails, and a persistent, overwhelming presence that no amount of sweeping or wiping seems to fix. Whether it’s in your kitchen, pantry, or even your living room, ant invasions can quickly get out of hand, affecting your family's comfort and hygiene.

Who We Are
Recognising the Signs of an Ant Infestation
Often, by the time you see ants, you’ve already got a established problem. Look out for these tell-tale signs:
- Ant Trails: The most obvious sign is a visible line of ants moving in a distinct path, usually between a food source (like a forgotten crumb) and their nest.
- Ant Nests: You might spot small piles of excavated soil or dirt around entry points, especially near foundations, pavements, or skirting boards – this indicates a nest is nearby.
- Live Ants: Seeing many ants indoors, particularly in specific areas like kitchens or bathrooms, suggests they’re actively foraging inside your property.
- Food Contamination: Ants can quickly get into stored food, making it unsanitary and unusable.
If you’re noticing any of these signs, it’s time to call in the professionals.

01822 668338Our Expert Approach to Eradicating Ants
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't believe in quick fixes that only offer temporary relief. Our approach is thorough, effective, and rooted in our 20 years of industry experience. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians begin with a comprehensive inspection of your property to accurately identify the species of ant, locate their main entry points, and determine the extent of the infestation. We then develop a targeted treatment plan using professional-grade insecticides and baiting systems that are far more potent and effective than anything available over the counter. This precise approach ensures we get to the root of the problem, eradicating the entire colony, including the queen, for a lasting solution.
Areas We Cover
Moorlander Pest Control: Providing professional pest control services across Devon and Cornwall. We cover a 60-mile radius from Plymouth, serving communities from Tavistock and Torquay to Liskeard and Launceston.
01822 668338Targeted Ant Treatments for Lasting Relief
Once our inspection is complete, we apply the most appropriate and effective treatment. For ant control, this often involves:
- Professional Insecticides: Applying highly effective, targeted insecticides directly to ant trails and entry points. These are designed to be picked up by the ants and carried back to the nest, eliminating the colony from within.
- Advanced Baiting Systems: Using specific ant baits that are attractive to foraging ants. These baits are carried back to the colony, including the queen, ensuring widespread eradication.
- Proofing Advice: We'll provide crucial advice on how to prevent future infestations, such as sealing cracks, improving sanitation, and removing food sources.
Our methods are safe for your family and pets when applied by our qualified team, providing you with peace of mind.
