Ant Control in Ealing: what we see locally
Black garden ants are a summer fixture in Ealing. Most of the borough's homes have gardens, patios or paved side returns, and ant colonies nest under paving slabs, in lawns and in the foundations of extensions, then forage indoors in search of sugary food.
We also see pharaoh ants occasionally in Ealing's larger apartment blocks and in warm, centrally heated buildings. These tiny yellowish ants nest inside the building itself and need a different approach to garden ants. We'll identify which species you have before we treat.
Where we find ants in Ealing
- Kitchen extensions in Ealing and Hanwell: Ants get in where the extension meets the original house, often under the back door or kitchen units.
- Patios and paved gardens: Colonies nest under slabs and send foragers through gaps around drains and doors.
- Ground-floor flats with gardens: Ground-floor kitchens in converted houses are a common entry point.
- Large heated blocks: Pharaoh ants can spread through warm, centrally heated buildings in Southall, Acton and Ealing town centre.
Our ant control service covers the whole of Ealing (W3, W5, W7, W13, UB1, UB2, UB5 and UB6), including Acton, Ealing, Greenford, Hanwell, Northolt, Perivale, Pitshanger, Southall and West Ealing, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping ants out of Ealing homes
Wipe up sugary spills and crumbs straight away, keep sweet foods in sealed containers, and rinse recycling before putting it out. Look for the gaps ants are using, often along the threshold of the back door or where the kitchen extension meets the original house, and seal them with silicone. Ants that nest under paving can be slowed by sweeping jointing compound into the gaps between slabs.
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

Ant Control in Ealing: your questions
How much does ant control cost in Ealing?
Ant control in Ealing costs £240 for a flat or £280 for a house, with no VAT to add. The price is fixed before we visit, with no call-out charge.
Why do ants come back every summer in Ealing?
Garden ant colonies survive the winter in the soil and become active again in spring. Treating the nest and sealing the entry point stops them coming back into the house.
Are your ant treatments safe for children and pets?
Yes. We use targeted gel baits and treatments placed out of reach, and explain how long to keep children and pets away from treated areas.
