Ant Control in Brent: what we see locally
Black garden ants are a familiar summer nuisance across Brent. Colonies nest under patios, front paths and block-paved drives, and send foragers indoors through gaps under doors and where extensions meet the original house.
We see the most ant calls from the semis of Kingsbury, Queensbury and Wembley and the terraces of Willesden and Kensal Rise with garden-facing kitchen extensions. In heated buildings, including tower blocks, hospitals and care homes, we also treat pharaoh ants, which nest indoors and need a specialist baiting approach.
Our baits are carried back to the nest by the ants themselves, which destroys the colony rather than just the ants you can see.
Where we find ants in Brent
- Patio doors in Kingsbury and Queensbury: Colonies under the patio send ants straight into the kitchen.
- Block-paved drives in Wembley: Ants nest under paving and come in under the front door.
- Kitchen extensions in Willesden and Kensal Rise: The joint between old and new walls is a common way in.
- Heated blocks and care homes: Pharaoh ants spread through warm buildings.
Our ant control service covers the whole of Brent, including Alperton, Dollis Hill, Harlesden, Kensal Green, Kilburn, Kingsbury, Neasden, Queen's Park, Queensbury, Stonebridge, Wembley and Willesden, with same-day or next-day visits.
