Why Are Ants Invading Your Property?
Ants are always on the lookout for food, water, and shelter, making our homes and businesses prime targets. Especially during warmer months, or after heavy rain, ants seek refuge indoors. Common culprits in the UK are the black garden ant (Lasius niger), but other species like Pharaoh ants can also be a problem. They often enter through tiny cracks in foundations, around windows and doors, or through utility lines. Once inside, they establish foraging trails to valuable food sources, contaminating surfaces and stored food, which can be a real health concern. Don't let these persistent pests compromise your hygiene or peace of mind.

Who We Are
Our Proven Approach to Ant Extermination
Getting rid of ants effectively requires more than just a can of supermarket spray. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians use an integrated pest management (IPM) approach to ensure the best possible results. This starts with a thorough inspection of your property to identify the ant species, locate their nests, and pinpoint their entry points and foraging routes. Based on our findings, we then deploy professional-grade insecticides and baiting systems that are far more powerful and targeted than anything available off the shelf. As BPCA affiliated members, we adhere to the highest industry standards, ensuring safe, responsible, and efficient treatment.

01822 668338Signs You Have an Ant Infestation
Identifying an ant problem early can save you a lot of hassle. Keep an eye out for these tell-tale signs:
- Ant Trails: The most obvious sign is seeing lines of ants marching along walls, floors, or work surfaces, especially heading towards food sources.
- Nests: You might spot small piles of excavated soil or dirt near foundations, pavements, or even inside your home, indicating an outdoor nest entrance.
- Discarded Wings: If you see piles of small, transparent wings, particularly near windows or light sources, it could mean a new ant colony is trying to establish itself, or a mature one is sending out reproductive swarmers.
- Food Contamination: Ants can quickly get into open food packets, pet food bowls, and even sealed containers.
