Why Are Ants Invading Your Kingsteignton Home or Business?
Ants are always on the lookout for food, water, and shelter, making our properties incredibly attractive. Common black garden ants (Lasius niger) are particularly notorious for foraging indoors, especially during warmer months. They're drawn to spilled food, crumbs, sugary drinks, and even pet food. Once they find a reliable source, they lay down a pheromone trail, inviting their nest mates to join the feast. Even tiny cracks in foundations, around window frames, or through utility lines can serve as entry points. Understanding why they're coming in is the first step to getting rid of them for good.

Who We Are
Spotting the Signs of an Ant Problem
It's not always obvious you have an ant problem until you see a line of them marching through your kitchen. However, there are other tell-tale signs to look out for. You might notice small piles of excavated soil or dirt near outdoor entry points, indicating a nest entrance. Inside, keep an eye out for ant trails leading to food sources or water. Sometimes, you might even discover the ant nest itself, often in wall cavities, under floors, or in garden soil near your home. If you're seeing more than just a few scout ants, it's likely you have an established colony nearby.

01822 668338Our Professional Ant Control Method
Dealing with an ant infestation effectively requires more than just a quick spray. Our professional approach at Moorlander Pest Control involves a detailed three-step process. First, our BPCA-affiliated technician will conduct a thorough inspection of your Kingsteignton property to identify the ant species, locate their nesting sites, and determine their entry and foraging routes. Second, we apply targeted, professional-grade insecticides or baits. These products are designed to be carried back to the nest, eliminating the entire colony, including the queen, for long-term control. Lastly, we provide expert advice on ant proofing measures and hygiene practices to help prevent future infestations, ensuring your home or business stays ant-free.

01822 668338The Pitfalls of DIY Ant Removal
It's tempting to grab an ant spray from the supermarket when you first spot an ant. However, DIY solutions rarely solve the underlying problem. Most off-the-shelf products only kill the ants you see, leaving the main colony and the queen untouched. Ants are resilient, and if their nest isn't fully eradicated, they'll simply find new routes or relocate, causing the problem to recur. Pharaoh ants, for instance, are particularly tricky and can 'bud' into multiple new colonies if improperly treated. Our professional-grade treatments and deep understanding of ant biology ensure a comprehensive and lasting solution that DIY methods simply can't match.
