Ant Control in Enfield: what we see locally
Black garden ants are a familiar summer nuisance in Enfield's suburban homes. Colonies nest under patios, in lawns and in flower beds and send foragers indoors through gaps under doors and around extensions.
We see the most ant problems in the interwar semis of Southgate, Winchmore Hill, Oakwood and Bush Hill Park, where kitchens open onto paved gardens. In large heated buildings, including some blocks of flats, we also treat pharaoh ants, which need a specialist 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 Enfield
- Back doors and patio doors: Ants come in from paved gardens.
- Kitchen extensions: Gaps where extensions meet the house let ants in.
- Block-paved driveways: Colonies nest under paving close to the house.
- Heated blocks of flats: Pharaoh ants spread through warm buildings.
Our ant control service covers the whole of Enfield (EN1, EN2, EN3, N9, N13, N14, N18 and N21), including Bush Hill Park, Cockfosters, Edmonton, Enfield Highway, Enfield Lock, Enfield Town, Oakwood, Palmers Green, Ponders End, Southgate and Winchmore Hill, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping ants out of Enfield homes
Keep sweet foods sealed and clean up spills promptly. Seal gaps under back doors and around kitchen units. Sweeping jointing sand into gaps between patio slabs discourages ants from nesting by 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
