Ant Control in Bromley: what we see locally
Black garden ants are a familiar summer nuisance in Bromley's suburban homes. Colonies nest in lawns, patios and flower beds and send foraging ants into kitchens through gaps under doors and around extensions.
We use professional baits that the ants take back to the nest, which wipes out the colony. In warm buildings, including some flats and care homes, we also treat pharaoh ants, which need a specialist approach.
In Bromley, we see ants most in homes with patios and block-paved driveways, such as the interwar semis of Petts Wood, Orpington, West Wickham and Hayes. Colonies often nest right beside the house, under paving that warms up in the sun.
Where we find ants in Bromley
- Patio doors: Ants travel from patios into kitchens.
- Extensions: Gaps in foundations are common entry points.
- Paved driveways: Colonies often nest under block paving.
- Warm buildings: Pharaoh ants spread in heated buildings.
Our ant control service covers the whole of Bromley (BR1, BR2, BR3, BR4, BR5, BR6, BR7, SE20 and TN16), including Anerley, Beckenham, Biggin Hill, Bromley, Chislehurst, Hayes, Orpington, Penge, Petts Wood, Shortlands and West Wickham, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping ants out of Bromley homes
Keep sweet foods sealed and clean up spills promptly. Seal gaps along door thresholds and around kitchen units. Sweeping jointing sand into gaps between paving slabs makes it harder for ants to nest close to the house.
How we treat ants
- Identify the species and trace trails back to the nest
- Targeted gel baits and residual treatment at entry points
- Treatment of external nests where accessible
- We offer free advice on proofing and prevention, and an affordable proofing service to block gaps and entry points
