Ant Control in Southwark: what we see locally
Black garden ants nest in back gardens, yards and the gaps between paving, and come into kitchens in summer. Terraced houses with kitchen extensions in East Dulwich, Peckham and Camberwell are often affected.
In heated buildings, including hospitals, offices and estates, we also find pharaoh ants, which nest indoors and need specialist baiting.
On flying ant days in July, Southwark's small Victorian back yards in Peckham, Nunhead and East Dulwich often reveal colonies nesting right by the back step. Where garden ants keep returning to the same spot each summer, the nest is usually within a few metres of the door.
Where we find ants in Southwark
- Kitchen extensions: Ants enter where extensions meet the house.
