Why Do Ants Keep Coming Back? Understanding the Problem
Many people try to tackle ant infestations with DIY sprays, only to find the problem quickly returns. This is often because shop-bought products only eliminate the visible ants, not the hidden nest or the queen. Common black garden ants (Lasius niger) are a particular nuisance, sending out scout ants to find food sources. Once a source is found, they lay down a pheromone trail, inviting the rest of the colony to join the feast. If you're seeing a steady stream of ants, it usually means a well-established colony is nearby, actively foraging for food and water in your home or business.

Who We Are
Clear Signs You Have an Ant Infestation in Your Property
Knowing what to look for can help you identify an ant problem early, allowing for quicker and more effective intervention. The most obvious sign is seeing live ants, usually in trails, often around food preparation areas like kitchens and pantries. You might also spot a small pile of fine soil or debris, which could indicate an ant nest entrance, often found in cracks in paving, under patios, or even inside wall cavities. During summer, you might encounter 'flying ants' – these are winged reproductive ants that emerge from mature nests to swarm and mate, often a sign that a large colony is present.

01822 668338Our Proven Ant Control Process: Safe & Effective Eradication
At Moorlander Pest Control, we don't just spray and leave. Our approach to ant control in Launceston starts with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the ant species, locate the nest (or nests), and understand how they're entering your building. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians then apply professional-grade insecticides or ant baits directly to the nest or along their foraging trails. These targeted treatments are far more effective and long-lasting than anything you can buy over the counter, working to eradicate the entire colony, including the queen. We also provide clear advice on what you can do to prevent future ant invasions.
