Ant Control in Waltham Forest: what we see locally
Black garden ants nest in back gardens and under paving, and come into kitchens in summer. Walthamstow's and Leyton's terraced houses with rear extensions are often affected.
In heated buildings, we also find pharaoh ants, which need specialist baiting. We identify the species first.
On flying ant days in July and August, the narrow back gardens of Walthamstow and Leyton terraces often reveal colonies nesting along the boundary wall or under the back step. If ants appear in the same place every summer, the nest is close by.
Where we find ants in Waltham Forest
- Rear extensions: Ants enter where extensions meet the house.
- Paved back gardens: Colonies nest under paving.
