Ant control

Ants keep coming back?

We follow the trails, check where ants may be nesting or getting in, and choose treatment to suit the problem around your home or business.

On the job

What to expect

What helps us find where the ants are coming from

Show us where the trail starts, where it goes and anything you have already sprayed or baited.

Leave a trail visible

If you can, leave one active trail alone so we can see where the ants are travelling.

Tell us when they appear

Let us know whether the trail is constant or more noticeable at a certain time of day.

Show us the busiest areas

Kitchens, bathrooms, windows, paving and garden edges can all give useful clues.

Mention anything already used

Tell us about sprays, baits or cleaning that changed or slowed the trail.

Before we arrive

A few details can save time

You do not need to identify the ant. Show us where the trail is, when it is busiest and whether it is inside, outside or moving between the two.

If you have already used a spray or bait, tell us what you used and where. It can change the trail and help explain what you are seeing now.

We may need to look inside and outside around the trail before deciding how to treat it. We will tell you if anything needs to be moved first.

Ant treatment works best when the trail, likely nest area and conditions supporting the activity can be checked. Spraying only the ants you can see may not reach the colony.

What to tell us

Where the trail starts and where it goes.
When the ants are most active.
How long the problem has been going on.
Any spray, bait or cleaning already tried.
Any pets, children or access issues we should know about.

The process

How ant control works

We look at the trail and problem areas, explain the treatment and tell you what to expect afterwards.

01

Show us the trail

Tell us where the ants appear, where the trail goes and what you have already tried.
02

Check inside and outside

We look around the trail for likely nesting spots and entry routes we can reach.
03

Explain the treatment

We tell you what we recommend, which areas are involved and anything you need to do first.
04

Tell you what to expect

We explain what to watch for after the treatment and whether another visit may be needed.

Common questions

Ant control questions

If the ants keep returning, show us the trail and tell us what you have already tried.

Do I need to know what type of ant it is?

No. A clear photo can help, but the trail and where the ants are turning up are usually the best place to start.

Should I spray the ants before you arrive?

If you can, avoid spraying an active trail just before the visit because it can make the trail harder to follow. Tell us about anything you have already used.

Do I need to empty cupboards or move anything?

Usually, leave the ant trail visible and do not move or spray the area unless we ask you to. We will tell you exactly what needs to be moved for the treatment.

Why do the ants keep coming back?

Food, water, shelter, an active nest or an entry route may still be there. Spraying the ants you can see may not reach the source.

Will one visit be enough?

Some ant jobs settle after one visit; established colonies, hidden nests or reinvasion can need another visit. The ant type, nest location and spread decide what follow-up makes sense.
