Why Choose Us?
Why Professional Ant Control is Your Best Bet
That lone ant you see today can quickly turn into thousands. While it's tempting to reach for a can of DIY spray, these often only target the visible ants, leaving the main colony – and the queen – untouched. This means the problem will just keep coming back. Professional ant control, like the service Moorlander Pest Control provides, gets to the very root of the issue. Our RSPH Level 2 qualified technicians use targeted, professional-grade treatments that are far more effective and safer for your home or business than off-the-shelf products.

Who We Are
Our Proven Process for Ant Eradication
When you call Moorlander Pest Control for an ant problem in Paignton, you’re getting a methodical and effective approach. First, we carry out a thorough inspection to identify the ant species, locate their entry points, and find the main nesting sites – which could be inside or outside your property. Once we understand the extent of the infestation, our expert team will apply the most appropriate treatment. This often involves non-repellent insecticides that the ants unknowingly carry back to the colony, effectively eliminating it from within. We’ll also offer advice on proofing measures to help prevent future ant invasions, like sealing cracks and managing food sources. Our work focuses on delivering a comprehensive, lasting solution.

In Devon, the most common culprit is often the black garden ant, frequently found trailing across kitchens or patios. However, we also have experience dealing with more challenging species, such as pharaoh ants, which are much smaller and can pose a particular problem in commercial settings like hospitals or restaurants. Whatever type of ant has decided to make your property their home, our experienced team knows exactly how to identify them and implement the most effective control measures. We understand their behaviour, their nesting habits, and the best way to get them out and keep them out.

01822 668338Signs You Might Have an Ant Infestation
Spotting a few ants is often just the beginning. Here are some key signs that you might be dealing with a larger ant infestation in your Paignton property:
- Ant Trails: Seeing long lines of ants marching along walls, floors, or worktops, especially leading to a food source.
- Nests: Small piles of excavated earth or soil around your home’s foundations, under paving slabs, or near skirting boards.
- Live Ants: A significant number of live ants, particularly in specific areas like your kitchen, pantry, or bathroom.
- Discarded Wings: If you see flying ants or discarded wings, it could indicate a mature colony, often during warmer months.
If you’re seeing any of these signs, don't wait for the problem to grow. Call Moorlander Pest Control for a swift and effective response.
