Ant Control in Lambeth: what we see locally
Black garden ants nest in back gardens, yards and the gaps between paving stones, and come into kitchens in summer. Garden flats and terraced houses with kitchen extensions in Clapham, Brixton and Herne Hill are often affected.
In heated buildings, including estates, hospitals and mansion blocks, we also find pharaoh ants, which nest indoors and need specialist baiting. We identify the species first, then use baits the ants carry back to the nest.
On flying ant days in July, the small paved gardens behind Lambeth's Victorian terraces often reveal colonies nesting under the back step or along the boundary wall. If ants appear in the same place every summer, the nest is close by.
Where we find ants in Lambeth
- Garden flats: Ants come in through back doors and kitchen extensions.
