The problem
What you are dealing with
A line of black garden ants across the worktop means a nest somewhere close — under the patio, beneath the doorstep, in a cavity wall or under the floor slab. Killing the workers you can see changes nothing; the nest just sends more.
In late July the flying ants appear for a day or two. It looks dramatic but it is only the mating flight, and it ends on its own.
Pharaoh ants in a hospital, care home or block of flats are a different matter — they need specialist baiting, and spraying them makes them split the colony and spread.
Signs to look for
A marching trail across the kitchen floor or worktop in spring and summer, fine soil heaps on the patio, or flying ants in late July.

Our method
How we treat it
- 01
We follow the trail back to the nest entrance rather than treating where you see them.
- 02
Treatment at source, plus the entry routes around thresholds, pipework and airbricks.
- 03
Advice on what is drawing them in — pet food, spillages under units, a leaking waste pipe.
- 04
A return visit if a second nest shows itself, which occasionally happens in older properties.

Ant control FAQs
How long does an ant treatment last?
One visit clears most homes for the season. Where the nest is deep under a slab or patio, a second visit finishes it.
Are flying ants a different species?
No, they are the same garden ants swarming to mate. There is nothing to treat unless they are emerging inside the house, which points to a nest under the floor.
Will ants damage my property?
Garden ants do not, beyond loosening sand between paving. The real issue is contamination in the kitchen and nests undermining a patio over time.
