Pest Control for Ants > Professional Ant Treatments

To get rid of ants, all of our pest treatments we start with a thorough inspection to fully understand the nature of the problem. Identification of the ant species causing the problem and potential nesting areas are vital for us to determine the best ant treatment.
The objective of any ant treatment is to completely eliminate the nest – this provides lasting control. If we can find the nest, we will treat the nest directly by injecting it with insecticide or applying insecticide dust. However, in many cases it is not possible to locate or access the nest, in such cases we carry out different treatments.

What are the signs of an ant problem?

Obviously if you have ants entering the house or you can see large numbers in the yard, you know you have an ant problem, but there are other signs that you may have an ant infestation developing.

How To Prevent an
Ant Infestation

There’s not much you can do to prevent ants nesting inside the house, in between pavers or in the lawn, other than carrying out a pest treatment.

However, there are a number of actions you can take to reduce the chances of ants coming into the house. Typically they come into the house looking for food or moisture.

Remove food sources
Clear up spilled food
Don’t leave pet food bowls out (especially with food in)
Don’t leave unwashed dishes on the side after meals
Make sure food is stored in tight fitting, “ant proof” containers
Rubbish should be put in sealed bags before placing in the bin
Remove sources of moisture
Clear up spills and dirty dishes
Fix any leaking taps or pipework
Prevent ants entering
Filling any cracks around windows and doors where you see ants entering will also help (although often they will find another way in!)
