Why DIY Ant Solutions Often Fall Short
Those ants marching through your home might seem like a simple nuisance, but getting rid of them for good is often trickier than a DIY spray can manage. Shop-bought products usually only kill the ants you see, leaving the main colony and the queen hidden and ready to produce more. This means you'll likely see the problem return, often worse than before. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians understand ant behaviour, identifying the specific species, locating the nest, and applying professional-grade treatments that get to the root of the infestation. This means a far more effective and lasting solution, keeping your home ant-free and your family healthy.

01822 668338Understanding the Ants Invading Your Home in Devon
In Devon, the most common ant you'll encounter is the Black Garden Ant (Lasius niger). While generally harmless, they become a real nuisance when they start foraging for food indoors, particularly sugary items. You'll often see their nests outdoors in soil, under paving, or near foundations. Occasionally, you might encounter other species like Pharaoh Ants, which are smaller, yellowish, and can be harder to control. These often require specialist treatment due to their ability to create multiple small nests throughout a property. While ants don't pose significant health risks like some other pests, their presence in food preparation areas is unhygienic and can contaminate surfaces.

01822 668338Recognising the Telltale Signs of an Ant Problem
Think you might have an ant infestation? Here are the common signs to look out for:
- Live Ants: The most obvious sign is seeing ants, often in trails, searching for food. You'll commonly spot them in kitchens, pantries, and near food preparation areas.
- Ant Nests: You might find small piles of soil or dirt near skirting boards, outdoor paving, or in cracks in walls – these are often indicators of an ant nest nearby.
- Ant Pathways: Ants often follow invisible scent trails, creating clear pathways on walls, floors, or even along worktops as they travel between the nest and a food source.
If you're noticing any of these signs in your Ilfracombe home, it's time to get professional help.
