Ant Control in Redbridge: what we see locally
Black garden ants are a familiar summer nuisance in Redbridge's 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 semis of Gants Hill, Barkingside and Clayhall and the Edwardian terraces of Ilford and Seven Kings with rear extensions. In heated buildings, we also treat pharaoh ants, which need specialist baiting.
On flying ant days in July, the paved gardens and drives of Redbridge's semis and terraces often reveal colonies nesting under the patio or along the extension wall. If ants appear in the same spot each summer, the nest is close by.
Where we find ants in Redbridge
- Rear extensions in Ilford: The joint between old and new walls is a common way in.
- Patio doors in Gants Hill: Colonies under patios send ants into kitchens.
- Block-paved drives: Ants nest under paving at the front of the house.
