Ant Control in Hillingdon: what we see locally
Black garden ants are a familiar summer nuisance in Hillingdon's suburban homes. Most houses have patios, paved side paths and block-paved drives, and colonies nest underneath, sending foragers indoors through gaps under doors and around extensions.
We see the most ant problems in the interwar semis of Ruislip, Eastcote, Ickenham and Hillingdon. In large heated buildings, including hotels, 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, which destroys the whole colony.
Where we find ants in Hillingdon
- Patio doors in Ruislip and Eastcote: Colonies under the patio send ants into the kitchen.
- Block-paved drives: Ants nest under paving at the front of the house.
- Kitchen extensions: The joint between old and new walls is a common way in.
- Hotels and care homes: Pharaoh ants spread through warm buildings.
Our ant control service covers the whole of Hillingdon, including Eastcote, Harefield, Harlington, Hayes, Hillingdon, Ickenham, Northwood, Ruislip, Uxbridge, West Drayton and Yiewsley, with same-day or next-day visits.
Keeping ants out of Hillingdon homes
Keep sugary foods sealed and wipe up spills promptly. Seal gaps under back doors and along extension joints, and sweep jointing sand into gaps between patio slabs.
