Ants

Ants are a very common pest, especially in warmer months. What usually starts as a few visible ants can quickly turn into a full trail leading back to a nest.

Why Ant Control Is Important

  • Food contamination – ants are drawn to kitchens and food storage

  • Rapid spread – trails can grow quickly once established

  • Persistent activity – they’ll keep returning if the nest isn’t treated

Signs You Have Ants

  • Trails of ants, often in lines

  • Ants around food, bins, or sugary substances

  • Nests in soil, paving, or near property foundations

  • Flying ants (seasonal swarms)

Keyfacts

  • Ants follow scent trails to food sources

  • Killing visible ants won’t remove the colony

  • Colonies can contain thousands of ants

  • Activity increases in warm weather

How We Deal With It

  • Identify the nest location

  • Use targeted treatments (often baits)

  • Eliminate the colony at source

  • Provide prevention advice
