Ant Control in Kensington and Chelsea: what we see locally
Black garden ants nest in back gardens, lightwells, patios and communal gardens, and come into kitchens in summer looking for sugar. Garden and lower-ground-floor flats are the most affected.
In large heated buildings, including mansion blocks, hotels and hospitals, we also find pharaoh ants, which nest inside walls and service voids and need specialist baiting. We identify the species first, then use baits the ants carry back to the nest.
