Ants Control in Essex, UK
Ants live in underground or above-ground colonies. Destroying the colony is critical as well as killing the ants outside the colony that are foraging for food. Ants are most active from spring through fall. The most common ants we exterminate in the London, UK are Argentine, Pharaoh, Pavements, Fire and Black Garden Ants. The most effective ant control solution is to use an ant treatment program by a professional pest control company in London.
Ants can enter your house, condo, apartment through cracks around windows, doors, and foundations or virtually any small opening to your home. Once inside they look for a food and water source. They will build a nest as long and become a problem.
How do I find the ants nest?
The best way to locate ants’ nests is to look for areas with water damage. Plumbing or roof leaks usually attract ants to damp areas such as framing or soft and spongy flooring. Attics, bathrooms and exterior walls are all common places for ant nests.
Why Is It So Difficult to Get Rid Of Ants?
To eradicate ants you need to locate and destroy the nest. The ants you see most often are worker ants that forage for food. They may travel significant distances to get into your home for food. Killing those ants is futile. These ants leave a chemical or pheromone trail that other ants will follow to your home. You will be fighting an ongoing battle. It is best and safest to hire a reputable pest control company to locate the ant nest and exterminate the ants as well as help identify the source for the infestation.
