Ant Control in Tower Hamlets: what we see locally
In Tower Hamlets' large heated blocks, hospitals and towers, the ants we're most often called to are pharaoh ants, which nest inside walls and service voids and spread through whole buildings. They need specialist baiting rather than sprays.
Black garden ants also come into ground-floor flats and terraced houses with yards in summer. We identify the species first so we use the right treatment.
Pharaoh ant colonies have many queens and split into new colonies when disturbed by sprays, which is why they can spread through a whole tower block. A coordinated baiting plan, ideally covering neighbouring flats, is the most reliable way to clear them.
