Unwanted ants can invade homes and businesses, contaminating food and creating persistent problems. We provide safe, professional ant control solutions to eliminate infestations and prevent their return.
Ants can be a major nuisance around our homes, gardens and businesses. They can cross contaminate food with diseases such as salmonella, if they are allowed to access food preparation and storage areas.
Most active during the spring and summer, they prefer warmer conditions. Some species can remain active indoors throughout the year.
Ants will eat a wide range of foods. Being opportunistic omnivores, they range from plants, seeds and fruit, dead insects, any whatever they might find spilled on your kitchen counter. Black Garden ants are the species we typically encounter, but many others live throughout the UK.

Most ants in the UK aren’t directly dangerous, but they can be a serious hygiene concern. When foraging, ants travel through soil, drains, and waste areas before ending up on your kitchen worktops or food storage. This means they can spread bacteria, contaminating food and surfaces.
Some species, like the Pharaoh ant, are more problematic — known to carry pathogens and even cause issues in hospitals or care settings. So, while they don’t bite or sting (in most cases), they’re far from harmless.
Ants invade homes for one simple reason: food. Once they locate even a tiny source of sugar, grease, or crumbs, they’ll send a trail of workers to collect it. Common entry points include cracks in brickwork, under door frames, or gaps around windows.
They’re especially active during warm months or after heavy rain when outside food becomes scarce. Even spotless homes can attract them — all it takes is one stray drop of jam or a few crumbs under an appliance.
DIY pest control is often a short-term fix. Sprays or powders might kill the ants you see, but they won’t reach the colony, which is usually deep under floors, patios, or walls. In some species, using the wrong method can make things worse — for example, Pharaoh ants split their colonies when disturbed.
Professional ant control targets the nest using specialist baits and treatments that eliminate the colony at its source.
