Ant Control: 5 frequently asked questions
Why not just use shop-bought ant powder?
It kills the ants you can see but rarely reaches the nest and queen. Professional baits are carried back to the nest and deal with the whole colony.
Is ant treatment safe around food areas?
Yes. We use approved products and place them carefully. We'll tell you what to avoid wiping for a few days.
How long will it take?
You'll usually see a big reduction within a few days.
Why do ants keep coming back every summer?
Garden ant nests often survive the winter under patios and walls. Treating the nest and sealing entry points reduces the chance of them returning.
What are Pharaoh ants?
Tiny yellowish ants that nest indoors in warm places, often in blocks of flats. They need specialist baiting, because sprays can make the colony split and spread.
