Ant Control in Merton: what we see locally
Black garden ants are a familiar summer nuisance in Merton's suburban homes. Colonies nest under patios, paths and block-paved drives, and send foragers indoors through gaps under doors and around extensions.
We see the most ant calls from the interwar semis of Morden, Motspur Park and Raynes Park, and the Victorian terraces of South Wimbledon with garden-facing kitchens. In heated buildings, including care homes and blocks, we also treat pharaoh ants, which need specialist baiting.
Our baits are carried back to the nest by the ants, which destroys the whole colony.
Where we find ants in Merton
- Patio doors in Morden and Raynes Park: Colonies under patios send ants into kitchens.
- Kitchen extensions in South Wimbledon: The joint between old and new walls is a common way in.
- Block-paved drives: Ants nest under paving at the front of the house.
- Care homes and heated blocks: Pharaoh ants spread through warm buildings.
Our ant control service covers the whole of Merton (SW19, SW20, CR4 and SM4), including Colliers Wood, Mitcham, Morden, Motspur Park, Raynes Park, South Wimbledon, Wimbledon and Wimbledon Park, with same-day or next-day visits.
