Understanding Ant Problems

Signs You Have An Ant Problem

1
Visible Ant Trails
Lines of ants marching in formation between food sources and entry points, often along skirting boards, walls, or worktops.
2
Ant Nests
Small piles of fine soil or dirt in gardens, between paving slabs, or under structures, indicating nest building activity.
3
Food Contamination
Discovering ants in food storage areas, particularly around sweet items, pet food, or other food sources.

Why Professional Control Matters

Complete Colony Elimination
Surface sprays only kill visible ants, while professional treatments target the queen and entire colony, preventing quick repopulation.
Property Protection
Some ant species can damage wood structures and electrical equipment, while pharaoh ants can spread harmful bacteria in sensitive environments.
Why DIY Methods Often Fail
Over-the-counter ant treatments typically address only the visible workers, leaving the queen and colony intact to continue reproducing. Without identifying the nest location and type of ant, DIY solutions provide only temporary relief as new workers quickly replace those eliminated.
How Our Professionals Make the Difference
Our targeted approach focuses on tracking ants to their source and applying appropriate treatments that eliminate the entire colony. We identify access points and provide long-term prevention solutions, rather than just treating the symptoms of an ant infestation.
