Reliable, Safe & Long-Term Ant Control
Comprehensive Ant Inspection
Identifying Ant Activity, Nest Locations & Entry Points

Get answers to common questions about our services
What types of ants are common in UK homes?
The most common are black garden ants (small, black, attracted to sweet foods), pharaoh ants (tiny, yellow-brown, preferring warm buildings), and occasionally carpenter ants (larger, causing structural damage). Garden ants are seasonal invaders, while pharaoh ants establish permanent indoor colonies requiring different treatment approaches.
Why do ants suddenly appear in my home?
Ants enter homes searching for food and water, particularly in warmer months. Once a scout ant finds a food source, it leaves a pheromone trail for others to follow, creating the ant trails you see. Changes in weather, nearby colony disturbance, or accessible food sources trigger sudden appearances requiring professional treatment.
How long does ant treatment take to work?
You'll typically see reduced activity within 24-48 hours, with complete elimination in 7-14 days. Baiting systems work slowly as ants carry poison back to the colony, eliminating the queen and entire nest. Surface sprays show faster results but may not eliminate colonies. Follow-up treatments ensure complete success.
Can I treat ants myself effectively?
DIY treatments rarely eliminate colonies and often make problems worse by causing ants to split into multiple sub-colonies (budding). Incorrect product use or application can contaminate surfaces without affecting the nest. Professional treatment targets colonies at their source with proper products and techniques for lasting results.
Do ants cause damage to property?
Most UK ants don't cause structural damage, but carpenter ants can tunnel through wood. The main concern is food contamination and hygiene issues. Large infestations can contaminate kitchens, damage stored foods, and create unsanitary conditions. Early professional treatment prevents colonies from establishing and spreading throughout properties.
How can I prevent ants from returning?
Eliminate food sources by cleaning spills immediately, storing food in sealed containers, and managing waste properly. Seal entry points around pipes, windows, and doors. Remove moisture sources like leaking taps. Trim vegetation away from buildings. Regular monitoring and professional prevention advice help maintain ant-free environments long term.
